What surprises me even more is the comment further up on this thread about some guy weighing unopened packs in Target. It makes sense, as the different insert cards, with varying thicknesses, would weigh different amounts. You'd think store security would step in and say something, but if the store cops can't even stop most shoplifters, I'm sure they'd ignore a guy who's actually paying for something.

With that in mind, the card companies do put "Decoy cards" in some packs. Decoy cards are thick blank (or advertisement) cards to throw off people weighing the packs or feeling them up.
Also with the Shrink wrap, just make sure the company logo is on the shrink wrap and you will be fine.
