As other have said throw away the gum and mark the packs and you would have gained some respect from many member here and over on CU but you choose to add to what is already a problem in the hobby. IMO that says a lot about your character.

Scott, to me, this is reminiscent of the guy that was selling cracked PSA slabs + flips because PSA would not agree to buy them back, or give him a discount on future card grading. At first glance, it could seem innocuous enough, because as strange as it seems, there might be people that collect flips. I'd never believed this in a million years, but I recently found out that some people collect used auto redemption cards for modern issues like Bowman Chrome, Topps Tribute or Topps Museum (go figure). But there's no denying that in both instances, the seller is empowering unscrupulous people to sell fake cards, or resealed packs as fresh.
Just another reason why I'd like to keep a list of people that have exercised questionable judgement, or demonstrated shady behavior.
This whole thing is just exhausting. It seems everywhere you go, somebody's trying to rip you off. Sigh.
