At :41-:45 you can see him placing the "cut" plastic right by the package to make it seem like he's "cutting" it.The camera pans up, and he's talking so you focus on that. There's not that much wiggle room to hold it to the side like that.

fake or not, i still bought 3 packs for a whopping $5....

Has anyone seen the video of the guy who opens the '86 Fleer and gets the Jordan sticker AND RC in the same pack? I think that one is fake.

If you ever ripped it back in the day, it wouldn't seem that tough. Back in 1987 I remember this stuff at 2 boxes for $10 at the Ben Franklin in the town I grew up in. My cousin bought quite a bit and I ridiculed him for "wasting" his money on basketball. Guess who had the last laugh. It wasn't tough to put 132 card sets together

Good eye...I thought it was faked even before you pointed that out but it is the nail in the coffin. Very poor execution and worse acting.

Default Good marketing

Looks like a good way to unload some 1990 jumbo racks. I wonder how many he sold?

I agree with everyone who say this looks fake. As was mentioned already no one who had gone through thousands of cards already would be reading the names off of common players, or act excited to pull a Greg Jefferies or Deon Sanders card (I believe those were two he mentioned). The thing with the scissors seemed strange even before I went back and noticed he didn't really cut the pack.

I finally watched it. Bad acting. What, does he do all that set up talking before opening each pack? And if you look carefully you can see the Thomas card has way more wear on the corner. You can see it coming in the deck, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

The video was purely entertainment. The Frank Thomas NNOF is 100% Authentic, however, it did not specifically come in this pack.

Just wanted to see reactions and comments. A lot of the comments bash it, but everything was executed extremely well.

Thanks for watching.

Wait, so you're the guy who made this, or just shared it?

As a result of that video I've bought close to 30 1990 Topps Jumbo's over the past month....several correct Thomas', but no NNOF.

Gues that's about $13 I'll never get back!
