Before Fleer went under in the early 2000's you could easily find the hit in a new retail box if you were the first to get to the box. I managed to do it twice in a row, because they did nothing to hide the thick cards and always put them in the same spot in the box. Donruss was the better with thick and thin packs in the boxes with the real hit being just slightly thinner than the thick packs. Upper Deck and Topps were the only companies that didn't give away the easy hits by not making the memorabilia cards overly thick in the early 2000's. I remember watching idiots trying to feel for the thick cards damn near bending packs in half in the process and just tossing the packs back. I have a jersey card that got bent by one of them that still couldn't feel the card after twisting and bending the pack.
