The condition of the packs raised some concerns

I was really looking forward to opening these Pokémon card packs, but something seemed off right away. Several packs appeared to have been resealed, there were 11 cards in some packs instead of the usual 10, and the cards were in a strange order compared to normal booster packs. One card even came upside down, and many had unexplained surface marks and wear straight out of the pack. There was no explanation provided for the bends and surface marks on the cards. The store also sent me a picture of a different sealed box, claiming it was the one my packs came from which doesn’t make sense, since the box would have had to be opened to send me the individual packs I purchased.

I also noticed inconsistencies across packs, including incorrect card counts and damaged cards, which aligns with other reviews highlighting similar issues. Based on my experience, there seem to be too many irregularities for this to be considered a standard error. Buyers may want to exercise caution and consider purchasing from an official or verified retailer.

Dear Lawrence,
Thank you for contacting us about your concerns. We investigated thoroughly and can now clarify the issues raised in your review.

Regarding the "11 cards":

After reviewing the video you sent us, we identified that you've counted the contents incorrectly. Every authentic Pokémon booster pack contains 10 Pokémon cards + 1 Energy card + 1 code card = 11 items total. This is the standard, correct pack configuration as confirmed on The Pokémon Company's official product pages.

The "extra card" you reference isn't evidence of tampering—it's the Energy card that belongs in every pack.

Regarding card condition and order:

The surface marks, card order variations, and orientation issues you describe are known manufacturer quality control problems that occur during factory production ("pack fresh damage"). These are not related to retailer handling.

Regarding our sealed stock:
We provided photographic evidence of our sealed distributor cartons to demonstrate that our products come directly from authorised UK distributors (Asmodee UK) in factory-sealed condition. We've never opened, resealed, or tampered with any products—this would be fraud.


Your review states there was "no explanation provided"—this is incorrect. We provided detailed explanations and evidence.

We've operated since 2007 with a 99.5% positive feedback rating across 87,000+ eBay sales. We stand behind the authenticity and integrity of every product we sell.

We've sent an email providing links to official Pokémon resources and manufacturer support for the QC issues. Pokémon TCG deal directly with quality control issues such as the roller marks and dinged edges you reported.

Phenominal customer Service

Great prices and phenominal customer service. I ordered a GW product through them, which came quickly and was well packaged. Unfortunately the quality control from GW was majorly floored. When I opened the GW box, which was in perfect condition, some of the contents were damaged. I contacted GW who refused to exchange or replace the item and said it was the responsibility of Gifts For Geeks. Definitely not!! However, GFG exchanged the items with no quibbling or drama.
Dustin was so friendly and helpful. This will make me look to them first for future products I want.
Thanks Dustin, you are a star!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great range of sealed MTG stock

Great range of sealed MTG stock. Order to delivery only took a couple of days. Everything arrived in excellent condition and I got some great pulls from a collector booster. I'll be ordering from this site again!

Can't fault Geeks

Can't fault GfG - great products at fair prices (even on items out of stock elsewhere) and well-packed, timely delivery. Am already filling my next basket!
