The Target near me is fairly clean. I've seen a guy searching packs, but it was weird. He'd feel the pack then set some aside. he set aside about 10 while I was watching. Actually outright staring at one point, which didn't seen to bother him even though he was making an effort to hide what he was doing. He then put back all of them and took 3 others that he hadn't felt.
Very strange.

I've gotten some good stuff from the packs and blaster boxes, so he may not be any good at the searching.
Best pull was a Pujols, Howard, some other guy triple autograph/equipment fragment card from a Gypsy Queen blaster.
I also bought a whole box of Gypsy Queen they'd put out but not opened. I had to tell them to ring it in as 24 packs since the box UPC code rang in as 1 pack. (Plus it had a "not a box sale" sticker, still had to tell them)

I'm now having my wife pick the packs as often as possible. She's beaten the published odds by a wide margin.... 2 packs 2 game used cards... Blaster, game used, auto, and a 3-4 more special cards. And I'm very certian she's not checkingin any way. Yes, I know statistics, but when things are going well it can't hurt to just go along.
