Interesting thread started by Paul about 2 years ago about the dishonesty of selling empty boxes with wrappers. How ironical.

As I said on the previous thread (before it was deleted). I believe that selling these lots with the wrappers, box and gum is bad for the hobby, and quite frankly, is just wrong.

That's what he/she/they said two years ago too.

If it were a newbie who truly didn't understand what selling a box, the wrappers AND the gum meant then I could give them the benefit of the doubt. However, Paul KNOWS better. He knows what the person who buys it is going to do with it. Why else would he sell the gum as well. For someone trying to show transparency and help regulate the hobby, what he did was ABSOLUTELY wrong.

FWIW, I am not suprised but very disappointed PSA deleted the comments about this on the the thread. I am sure a certain someone was on the phone with PSA all day crying to get them deleted.
