Fake team rocket first edition pack ??

General
1

Got these two packs from my girlfriend as a gift…
she showed me reviews the guy on eBay has, and people talk about getting good cards and he had a ton of good reviews… but I just can’t seem to shake off that they are in very weird shape.
Thoughts ?? (The Jessie and James artwork and the Giovanni artwork)
Added the other two I have that seem to be great condition especially the multi Art one…

Mostly the seethrough in the red of the R , the very weathered out top crimple and finally the extreme color difference between these two packs and the other two I’ve gotten (which I’m confident is what they should look like)

I wanted to see if others have seen these type of pack conditions for this set or in general.

Maybe just weathered.

From the pictures they look fine. I recently opened up a xy evolutions booster box and every pack in the box was see through. The roll of wrappers was probably screwed up I guess. I know they were produced by two totally different companies but it shows you there is the possibility out there that packs can be transparent for whatever reason causes that.

ive had tonnes of 1st ed rocket packs like this. probably printed so many of them that the ink was running dry on parts of the print. i wouldnt worry.

@gott006, @garyis2000, @mikejofthecoast,

Thanks guys, was a bit worried and all as I couldn’t find anything online.

Cheers

gehe808 To me they seem legit BUT it does kinda looks like they were resealed! look at the middle of the top of packs. Did you buy these as resealed packs?

Of course not, bot them as sealed… Ive seen the same condition of crimple on brand new hidden fates so they did not worry me. Just very weathered out.

hmmm ok…are you going to open?!? i mean if you were to pull at leadt 1 legit holo, then was not tampered with. bunch of non holo packs means it was resealed or weighed or both

That happens and isn’t an indication of them being resealed. A lot of my hidden fates packs had similar markings on the seal.

It’s pretty common on rocket packs for whatever reason
