I find that extremely awesome that you kept records like this, including copies of the ebay screenshots. I rediscovered that I did as well, for at least 1 purchase! There may be others, but it was not a common thing for me to do, I know this for sure.
However, at some point I did also always kept the Topps Vault receipts for any purchases from them, but that was not dating back to my first purchases unfortunately. If I won 12 items, I'd make 12 copies and put 1 with each Vault certificate. Wish I would have thought to do that in the beginning.

It’s actually well done. Whoever created the rack pack knew not to use another crimper device, but rather some undefined heat source that resealed the edge. Again, you can’t see the micro bubbles very well with the naked eye and my up close images are not good. It looks and feels (at first) to be a genuine rack pack. Neither he or I knew that it was not possible to have cards from different series in the same pack. Interestingly, I am seeing graded vintage rack packs by GAI that look very questionable after my experience with these packs
