Went to Wal Mart today and bought the only Bowman Platinum blaster they had. The outside of the box appeared to be fine. When I opened it every pack had 2017 Topps series one cards even the bonus pack. I sent an email to Topps to see what they will do for me.

How's this for luck?

Sounds like someone bought, exchanged the packs, resealed and returned it.
I've also heard of employees gathering loose packs and placing them into empty boxes!

I have had that happen before, and if you look carefully at the cellophane/plastic wrapper around the box there is usually a tell tale sign of either tape (typically double sided), a sticker covering of the original hole, or re-shrinking wrapping (hard to tell as you have to compare it to another box from the same company). I have never hear of Walmart or Target employees putting loose packs into empty boxes and then resealing them.

The packs inside were all Bowman Platinum packs. However the top of each pack was loose. I guess I should have been suspicious from the start. Maybe I will go back to Wal Mart and complain.

that was a first for me. I guess I need to be more observant in the future. I was just so excited to find Bowman Platinum. I took it back to Wal Mart and they refunded my money, so all is good.

Ok, forgive me if I am missing the point, but why would someone bother to replace stolen merchandise? The only scenario that makes sense to me is if someone bought it, took it home, replaced the cards (why not plain paper stock) and got a refund.
Am I missing something hete? In MN crime is so minimal...

Getting an entire blaster or two for free and ridding yourself of worthless base at the same time.
