Issues with BBC exchange

I decided to buy direct from BBC exchange and experienced the same problem. I know for a fact the 89 upper deck and 83 OPC were resealed that I got off ebay. The 1982 topps football cards I got direct from BBC exchange were suspicious. I have not opened 82 topps fb packs since I was a kid. I cannot remember if there were glue on the top of every card in the pack but I find it strange every single card had glue on the top. I can scan pics for proof if some of you are skeptical. I find it odd that every single "good" card I pulled from all 3 boxes had issues (small creases, gum stuck to the back, glue on the front, and dinged corners). I can see past the dinged corners, but what explains the glue on top of every card and few cards having creases? Ive never gotten any creases in any of the commons…..just the good cards. Also, whats the explanation as to why some of the packs (about 2 per box) were not fully sealed and/or sealed like a 3yr old sealed them….unlike the other packs.

I am not saying steve reselled the boxes, but is it possible that whomever he bough them from was able to pull as fast one on him if he did not sit and examine every single pack which I doubt he had time to do.

I wouldnt think that people who search packs and reseal put damaged stars back into them...wouldnt you rather have a damaged Griffey than a mint Ruben Sierra? Which would sell for more?

I personally opened 2 cases of Upper Deck as a 14 year old in '89. I still have every Griffey I pulled. 3 of them came with the same big crease down the middle. I sent them back to Upper Deck, and they sent me nicer copies. I opened another box about 2 years later, and sure enough, the Griffey I pulled had that same damn crease! I still have it, I'll try to take a pic later tonight.
