Rather than just a select few people knowing the code enabling those with low integrity to take advantage of us, we all know now. That's how you help stop people from getting taken for a ride.

Otherwise, when boxes get jumbled, they would have no idea of the case has at least 1 case hit. Issue is this info got leaked and unscrupulous employees sold the info to certain people.

not a lawyer but if serial numbers on boxes can predict hits (this video by itself doesn't necessarily show that), you'd have to prove that that one of these companies knew about it and was able to take advantage of it somehow...seems doubtful that panini itself would benefit from it (unless they intentionally only sold hit boxes to certain people/places)...seems more likely that breakers or LGS's (maybe even panini employees) could have been taking advantage of it and could be held responsible if they were selling/advertising products as unsearched/unknown ones when in fact they knew there wasn't a hit in it...

You act surprised that greed actually exists, of course this was bound to happen...

I went to my local LCS today and asked him about this. He said and I quote "oh yea this has been known by dealers for years". But I am fair to my customers and I do not let them see the sticker number so they can game the system. The only people that ever knew was panini, breakers and LCS's. I asked him how this isn't gaming the system and he said he can't control what other people do but he is fair because he opens all his cases fresh and puts them out without looking at the stickers. He wants his customers to win big he doesn't care about singles and case hits. All in all I was still blown away to find out that this has been KNOWN for a while though...

Funny, the first big hit(Jordan) tactic in the late 80s with retail Upper Deck/Skybox/Fleer packs was to pick the first two packs out the top left and bottom right corners out of a 24 or 36 pack box. And it worked if you got to Walmart,Kmart or Target earlier enough. I brought four boxes of Donruss 2014-15 basketball 36 pack box when it was still $40. Used the same technique and the rookie and stars hits were in their spots

To play devils advocate, to insert a card that falls only so many boxes there has to be a system in place to allow that to happen. They are printing millions of cards across the sports and different product lines so they had to develop a numbering system for how the cards fall. I just don’t think they expected people out there to work out a system to decode it. But with all the breakers out there as a day job someone was bound to Rain Man it out.

Since the "Hits" have to be guaranteed per case, Panini/Fanatics have to have a system to track the hits inside the factory. This just happens to be a method that the public has decoded, so it's best to spread the knowledge far and wide to ensure no one gets defrauded on the secondary market.

I'm sure all products have it. A guy at my LCS read the number on a new Select and said it'd have a gold card and an "A" level auto. He then pulled a gold and an Edward's auto.

The 2nd video SCR did they said that one number had the Kaboom, and the other number was for a hit like silhouette autos

So... how much do ya want for a non-kaboom box? Seriously.

Finally someone tested it and said the number. Feels like there’s people who won’t say the number so they are the only ones who know. It’s good for everyone to know so that we aren’t getting ripped off but at the same time now this product is ruined and people will only buy it if it has 09 in it or will only sell it if it doesn’t.
