Because they already opened the pack, removed any good cards, and resealed it with a Taiwan Jones or Jordan Todman auto inside.

How could weight tell? The sig adds weight? I always wondered this too

RE: Chrome Auto Hot Pack
Apparently from weighting, you'd have to have a very precise scale. Or you could go the micrometer route. This is just by reading a guide on ebay right now. Apparently with a micrometer, you can tell the difference in size of an auto and regular card is the coating on autograph cards is thinner than regular cards. So a micrometer could find this, buy determining such small differences as the width of a hair.

People who don't collect him don't realize he's harder to get your hands on then it seems. His cards aren't cheap for whatever reason.

Not too sure... but i was collecting a lot of the 2011 chrome autos and picked up a Jones Rookie Recognition auto for around 9 bucks delvered... Thought i got a pretty good deal, and after your comment I think I got a steal
