Found this gem in my gallery from a few years back

I know I know, these are pretty much always a scam, but I was buying a few packs at Ace Hardware this morning and couldn't resist the temptation of this "Cosmic Slabs" mystery pack just staring at me by the register... lo and behold, $59.99 spent for probably less than $0.50 in value returned. Perfect order bulk that didn't even grade a 10 by their own scam company's standards. Not to mention scratches on the slab. I honestly feel insulted, like they just stole $60 from me...

​

I've learned my lesson and never plan to buy a mystery slab again (or any product associated with "Cosmic Grading Cards") but it has me wondering - is this the worst mystery slab in history or just par for the course?

All I see lately when checking my local vending machines.... are people tampering with the machines or what's the dealio?
