I have been collecting cards for about 28 years, and in the old days sights like this were never there. But because the hobby has added a lot of colorful aspects to packs, going to Wal mart or Target your going to see this at least once, a guy in mid 20's to 30's handling packs like he should to his wife or girlfriend to find that big hit. Now I have noticed that over the past 3 years big hits have been coming out of retail packs from a Abe Lincoln cut autograph, to limited patch cards #ed to 10, but I don't blame the searchers I blame the companies who produce the cards. Topps, Upper Deck, and Panni should have gone with the plain white or so so auto's for these packs, and left the big hits to the hobby products, but they had to give the collector something to chase, I for one will not ever EVER buy loose retail packs, I only collect Topps sets so it would not be an issue, but I think this has turned a lot of people off to the hobby. I once saw someone in a Target doing this, asked security to do something, they basically said they can't, but it goes farther there are dealers that pay the employees to do this not only with packs, but the Mcfarlane chase figures as well. So my solution, there is no solution the only thing you can do is just watch. Thankfully I'm not that desperate to fondle packs, PACK searching is not a crime, but I will never lower my standards.
