In case anyone sees this auction, I emailed the seller and he said they were retail packs:

if someone was to win tihs auction, they'd be getting 23 packs, so if a box originally had 24 packs, then where'se the last one??? ???, these cards must've come from someone who originally wanted something like a costume or autograph card,then they "sorted" the packs, but never noticed that they didn't have the Hobby logo on them,

That's what I wondered, so I asked him whether it stated on the wrappers that they could contain costumes, props and autos.  He replied, "It doesn't say any of that, so I assume they are retail packs."  That's enough to keep me away from the auction.

Good stuff agent KBMum ;)

BTW Where does your ID come from? It can't be Mum as in Mother as you are from America aren't you?

I'm from the US, but my ID is Mum as in Mother.  A few years ago, I signed up for a forum for mothers of twins and wanted to be kbmom, but it was taken.  I tried kbmum and it took, so I've used that ever since.  K and B are the first initials of my kids' names. :)

I try to be careful with auctions because I narrowly avoided a problem with a seller who listed hobby packs that were in fact retail.  Fortunately, we discovered the problem before she shipped, but she continued to use a picture of a hobby pack in her auctions even though she buried the word "retail" in her description.   Now I study the picture, carefully read the description, and ask questions before bidding.
