eBays largest vintage unopened pack seller - RESEALER?

[Donavon]

I cannot speak for this seller, but I do know that resealing happens often. I know someone who bought a box of 1975 Topps minis, opened the packs & resealed them. Those resealed packs graded very high through a major grading service by the way. Luckily....this person has no illusions of selling the graded packs. They are displayed very nicely next to the Bretts, Younts, Aarons & Ryans he pulled from them.

On a more personal note....I would never buy these packs (graded or not) for the simple fact that it is too easy to reseal them with no evidence of such.

I guess to each their own but I cannot fathom why someone would want to open the packs, reseal them and have them graded. Even if they have no intention of fraudulently selling them, what would happen if a relative sells them unknowingly, etc. Again, just makes no sense to me.

If you open the link and read, it looks like Ebay has nixed message board comments about the fraudulent seller. Protecting their revenue I guess.
