How We Handle Sealed Product

At Jack's Card Corner, we know that buying sealed hobby boxes online requires trust. Concerns about weighed or resealed boxes are real in this hobby, and we take them seriously. This page explains exactly what we do — and what you can do — to protect that trust.

What "Sealed" Means in Our Product Listings

When a product listing states that a box is sealed, that means the item arrived at our shop in factory-sealed condition and has not been opened, resealed, or tampered with by us. Any condition notes — such as minor shelf wear, shrink imperfections, or box corner damage — are disclosed in the product description. If no condition note appears, the box is in the sealed condition we received it.

How We Inspect Sealed Products Before They Ship

Before every order ships, we visually inspect each box for the following:

Intact factory shrink wrap with no punctures, tears, or re-wrap seams
Factory stickers or seals present where expected
Box weight and feel consistent with the product — boxes that feel unusually light are flagged and set aside
No evidence of corner or flap tampering

If a box does not pass our inspection, it is pulled from inventory and not sold as sealed.

Storage and Handling

Sealed products are stored in a climate-controlled space, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Boxes are handled as little as possible between receiving and shipping to reduce the risk of accidental damage to the seal or packaging.

If You Have a Concern About Your Order

If your box arrives and something looks off — torn shrink, unusual weight, suspicious resealing — please do the following before opening the box:

Photograph the sealed box from all sides, including the top, bottom, and all four corners.
Video the unboxing if possible. An unbroken unboxing video is the most useful evidence for any claim and may be required to evaluate your concern.
Do not discard the outer packaging (box, poly mailer, or shipper carton).
Contact us right away — ideally within 48 hours of delivery — with your order number and the photos or video.

We review every concern individually. Having clear photos and video allows us to evaluate what happened and work toward a fair resolution.
