What would you call these?

This is probably a stupid question to most, but what are those boxes of cards that Target and other stores have that say "Football" on the outside and have miscellaneous packs of cards from previous years?

I know what your talking about. There is a company (I forgot their name) that purchases card packs from various years, they then repackage them for retail sale. Some of these packages will advertise a special incentive, a bonus auto card, a Beckett graded card, a memorabilia card, or a rookie card.

There is really no specific catergory for this product, my daughters boyfriend and I simply call them generic retail boxes.

I've always heard of them referred to as repacks

Re-packs makes a lot of sense, thanks!

I've had fun opening some of those boxes. Never got anything super spectacular, but fun none-the-less. In the 2 boxes that advertised a special card, one was a game used Wily Mo Pena card which I liked and the other was a Gold parallel Babe Ruth kind of sparklish card which I was a little disappointed with. I saw it was booked at close to $20 but didn't think I could get that, so I sold it on Listia and racked up some points which I turned around and bought game used jersey cards. In the end, it all worked out!
