I just picked up a brand new sealed brick of BTK tens today. This brick is missing many notes, and started at BTK4763002 and numbers were descending. The whole brick was wrapped, then there was another wrap around each pack of 5 bundles. The bundles were also split up.

There were no replacements to be found. ???

Is this going to be a new trend? Has anyone else found bricks like this?

Yes I have found atleast 2 bricks like this and no inserts. As a matter of fact no repeaters or radars.  They were some of the ones removed.
Hopefully this is not going to be the norm.

What color were the paper bands that held each the of the bundles? The regular white paper bands are BoC. I recall getting a brick of $20 with the same Prefix but the numbers where practically all over the place with no Radar, replacements, or repeaters.

They were the regular white bands, and yes the radar was there.

Each bundle was in a white band, but no markings or BOC logo either.
Each group of 5 bundles was in a clear plastic wrapper about 4in wide, and then the brick was held together by two elastic bands

This was the same for both of the bricks.

For wacky styuff like this, be SURE to record the FP and BP, so we can check it out- they may have switched off the Matrix!!!!!

There you go Huds, each bundle of 100s had a plain white paper band with NO BoC markings. Brick was shrink-wrapped into two larger half bricks of five Bundles each, each banded by a clear plastic 4”wide wrap/band. No other markings of print on bands or wrap. No replacements were found. It’s as if they ran out of replacements and just went ahead and bundled them in 100’s anyway. Would had been 47 replacements! Rats, think I got the bundle order wrong.  :o

Gasp! Could the BoC be getting rid of Replaciing notes so they save some money to pay off Dodge's gold plated severance package? :o
