My mistake then, but I thought part of the question had to do with whether or not Topps was somehow involved in these, and/or that some people still weren't sure if these were possibly considered on a par as legit unopened packs then. I thought a post or two in this thread referred to some people still thinking these may be legit unopened packs somehow, and there were Youtube videos of people opening them with that thinking in mind.

My comment was not directed at you or several others in this thread that realize these were repacks by someone else. My comment was meant more for anyone who may still not realize, or fully believe, Topps had nothing to do with these. And that since it hadn't been mentioned by anyone else in the thread, if there was anyone with a potential lingering question about these being legit unopened packs, asking Topps about them should be the most definitive way to have originally answered that question. I was actually a bit surprised no one else in this thread said anything about Topps officials being asked if the company ever issued or had any known involvement with issuing such Christmas packs, and the comeback was a resounding no.

So just for the record, does anyone know if Topps officials were ever formally asked about these, and if so, what was their official response?
