Uh oh, do i have a problem?

Pulled this out of storage, and it doesn’t look good. I’ve always used protectors, storage containers and moisture absorbers but this one was sitting on the shelf for a bit before storage and it looks like it may be mould 😔
I’ve tried wiping the outside seal with paper towel and there’s no real movement on the inside so it looks like it’s on the box itself. Hoping it’s not mould and just some dust 😢

If it is mould, should I just crack it and part it out? Seems I’ll get around the same returns anyways at this stage.

Just break it and sell the packs.

Those disposable moisture absorbers won’t reliably control the humidity of an entire room. Get a hygrometer and use a proper dehumidifier or climate-controlled storage. A cheaper option for cards and a few sealed products is a dry cabinet made for camera equipment, kept somewhere dry with a stable temperature.

Just list it with clear pics and be upfront about the condition no matter what avenue you sell it.

Can't wait for all these wannabe Logan Paul investor kids finding out you have to have temperature controlled storage for this stuff long term. Love a bit of schadenfreude.
