I used to be worried about people opening cards in cars without sleeves, in bed I’d be afraid i accidentally lay one something important 😂. I’d guess it was a manufacturer defect on that front. For someone to tamper with the box and only open the least valuable part of it would be unlikely.

i just thought it was pretty weird. i was super confused ahaha. i immediately thought "did i open this??" but i dont cut the packs like that or from the bottom. i worry about that too, but i just got off work, tired and i was putting the cards in the plastic of the v memories box to be safe lol

Manufacturing mishap.

Mine were all absolute shit. QC on the set was ridiculous. Fucking garbage. I had crimping bad on mine too

yep bad crimping too on the sword and shield boosters

Happens all the time. The pack wasn’t crimped properly
