Blather or not I would like to know.

I don't believe that any major retailer would offer a product with no clear indication on the packaging of origin, authenticity, etc. I also don't believe the repackaged cards could ever have done at a large-enough scale to tempt such retailers in the first place. I believe that the stories about the cards having been found at retail are part of the "legend" used to afford some additional authenticity to the effort.
