Resealed pack
A resealed pack is a pack or box that has been opened and sealed again, then sold as if it were untouched. It is not factory sealed product.
In more detail
TCGplayer's rule sets the standard: a product that has been re-shrink-wrapped or re-sealed is not factory sealed. A resealed pack or box may look new, but its seal is not the maker's, and the maker's seal is what a buyer of sealed product is paying for.
Upper Deck's advice shows what to look at. Buy sealed boxes from a trusted source, and not loose packs: it says pack searching, where someone weighs or feels sealed packs to find the inserts, happens most often at retail. Look over the packaging for signs of tampering, such as glue or tape. Its own boxes carry a shrink-wrap seal branded with its logo, so learn what the maker's wrap looks like before you pay. No single check proves anything, so use several.
The safest buys are boxes you pick from a shop shelf and packs from sellers with a track record. Be wary of loose packs from a popular release and of sealed product priced far below the maker's own price.
