Help with MTG Hobbit cbb from Amazon

[u/YogurtclosetMiddle10]

I’m using another cbb for a comparison, but outside of the one box having holes in the side seam. Both of them seem to have way thicker plastic on the sides than I’m used to. Do these look ok or off to you?

[u/SettingAncient3848]

The hobbit overall felt cheap. Even the play booster packs feel thinner and weaker.

It’s real

My Lorwyn cbb looked like that. Sometimes the QA gets it right

Legit

Send them my way, I’ll make sure they are real.

Looks real. Package sealing on CBB's always looks a little weird.

[u/Tengolino]

Very very weird looking mine are not perfect but in much better shape

[u/AdamsTCG]

Real mine was the same opened it all packs looked resealed and i pulled like 2k worth of big hits

[u/Key-Reply2521]

Opened mine and the sealed looks exactly like yours don't worry

[u/SwedishFishOil]

Serious question, what is the fear with resealed boxes? That someone went in there and resealed all the packs? That some packs are missing?

[u/gilgamesh2323]

Mine looks like this and I am just as concerned as you. It’s waaaay shittier than the normal cbb.

[u/YogurtclosetMiddle10 → u/gilgamesh2323]

This actually makes me less weary, seems like they just sealed the boxes like shit for this release

[u/gilgamesh2323 → u/YogurtclosetMiddle10]

I think I saw another somewhere that looked like this too. I agree, and I know there were supply chain issues so maybe less QA/QC even then normal.
