spotting fake action figures

hey, everyone. does anyone out there know how you can spot if a toy (particularly indy stuff) has been resealed or if the packaging has been re-done? for the 1st time in my life, i found a store nearby that sells 'original' carded raiders figures, but they are extremely pricey ($500 for marion). cards and blisters all looked to be in excellent condition, but how can i be sure? i know about asking for a money-back guarantee, and using a blacklight to see if the blister was reattached, but if its a new blister on a new, homemade card, how can i tell? any help would be greatly appreciated!
