325.0. "Tamper/counterfit proof?" by GUCCI::EWISE (Pobodys Nerfect) Thu Oct 03 1991 14:57

	 I just got a package of the TSR 1991 collector cards. $1.00 per pack.

	 On the front of the pack it states... 

	16 Fantasy Cards
	Counterfit Proof
	Limited Edition
	Random Sequencing
	Tamper Proof Pack

	 I can see nothing to prevent counterfiting and the only thing 
	tamper proof about the pack I can see is that it is a foil pack. 

	 What do they do to make cards Counterfit Proof, and is the foil pack
	what makes it a Tamper Proof Pack?

	What are TSR cards (first)? Second, ask John St. Onge if foil packs are tamper-proof. -rjk

	Yes the TSR cards are the Dungeons and Dragons cards. They have cards for the following subsets of D&D AD&D 2nd Edition Forgotten Realms Greyhawk Spelljammer Dragonlance Ravenloft So what happened to John St.Onge?

	Like he said, he found some Red Sox tix in a pack of UD BB. This is no BS (like the Aaron card [hi Mike!] 8^). I had some Red Sox tix I was holding for John. Decided to get cute with him. I cut a slit in the TAMPER PROOF foil wrapper, placed the cards in there, and was able to mask it from John. He opened the pack up, never even noticed it had been slit open. Like John said -- if it can be opened, it can be resealed. -rjk
325.6	Tip of the week....	HANNAH::OBRIEN		`Fri Oct 04 1991 14:26`	6
	Don't buy boxes of unwrapped Upper Deck anything. By opening the top pack in the pile, a sleazeball can tell which cards are in every pack under it. Ron o.
325.7	Please elaborate ...	FRAGLE::GUTIERREZ	Who's on 1st.. What's on 2nd..	`Fri Oct 04 1991 15:47`	6
	RE: -1 Could you elaborate a little more on that ?. How can you tell which cards are under it ?.
325.9	I'm not going to say....	HANNAH::OBRIEN		`Fri Oct 04 1991 16:25`	14
	re .-2 I'm not going to describe how it's done for the obvious reason; I don't want to encourage anyone to do it. As a corollary, I would add: Don't buy single packs of UD anything unless you trust the person/dealer your buying them from. For you dealers, I would also encourage you to mix up your boxes after opening, to discourage anyone who knows how to 'read' the UD packaging order. Ron O.
