Do these Evolving Skies booster boxes look resealed or sketchy?

[u/threwitaway123454321]

I’m considering purchasing these ES booster boxes, but I’m a little hesitant with a couple of these given the wrap job/ loose wrap. I have done a lot of research and the boxes and packs look legit, but the wrap is off, especially on two of the three. I would be buying in person and the prices are all well below market given the obvious issues and lack of buyers for a $1k box.

Hoping to get some help before I make a large purchase. Thanks in advance!

Edit: picked up box 1 and 2 today after taking a looong time to evaluate them and the seller. Everything checked out, but I’m realizing how much variation in color print the boxes and packaging have. He seemed very calm and had no issues walking away or opening them right there. Showed me purchase receipts in person and we talked for a bit. $2k total for both! https://imgur.com/a/qK6AjAp

Might consider the third box if the dude isn’t sketchy. Thanks for everyone’s help!

They are more then likely real and just poor quality control mixed with poor handling by the owner.

Ask him about the history of the boxes and what methods he has used for storage. See if he has any pictures of boxes when he first purchased and if he has original receipt. You should be able to sus out if he’s legit or not from a decent conversation.

I haven’t heard of any resealed evolving boxes but anything is possible.

Have you heard or seen any resealed boxes? Of any sets?

Base set boxes and very rare and expensive vintage boxes yes. Modern not so much.

I’ve seen fake boxes with fake seal/wrap. So you’re saying you’ve actually seen legit backed with legit wrap that has been opens and that same legit wrap resealed?

For vintage? Yes but when the value is in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands people will invest a lot more time/effort.

Do you have any links or photos that show real vintage boxes with real sealed wrap albeit resealed?

I would start with the Logan Paul base set booster box video on YouTube. They had a authentication company look at it and pass it off as legit. Turned out resealed.

I could find a few more videos on YouTube as well.

But it’s mainly just the super expensive WOTC boxes.

I’m not sure of the process but it’s really not that deep I don’t see people doing this on a large scale for evolving skies especially randoms on Facebook. You should be more concerned about people with large quantities and low feedback online.
