These boxes were all acquired from a store that had closed in the late 1990's. It wasn't until the mid 2000's that the store stopped getting allocation of products. The boxes are all factory sealed unless stated otherwise. We've witnessed multiple boxes opened from this collection with minimal to no sticking. We're not responsible for any sticking or condition of cards as that's outside of our control. If you have any questions about the boxes please feel free to reach out.
