The card companies have been doing a good job recently with dupe cards to elimated pack searching and "thicker packs" but there was a product this year, and occasionaly we see a box with a real thick pack.

Take 2006 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Baseball-a great product, with a ball cut signature per box, but it was obvious when you opened the box which pack had that card and the other hits.

Here is what you can do to pack it out in a hobby store.

Get index cards and write a number 1-12 or the number of packs-or you can use poker style cards. Then when a customer wants one of those packs-mix up the packs and the deck of numbers, then have them pick a number, then count from left or right that number, and they get that pack.

This is one way to do it, keeps it fair for everyone-good luck-hope this helps.
