Hello members of ninjette, hope you're all having a good week. Making this post in regard to some "new" vesrah sintered HH pads I bought off of ebay for my bike.... They are the model VD 427 JL for the front brakes. I just opened the "new" package, which was obviously opened up before and closed again with staples/tape. But I guess this doesnt mean they were definitely used and put back in the pacakage.. Hence this post.

After further inspection of the pads, the material feels smooth (minimal grittyness) and leaves some residue if I rub them with my fingers.. The package looks old, so maybe this just built up overtime or bouncing around when shipping.. Idk. Is this how a sintered pad they should be? Or are the pads likely used and need to be returned? My organic kevlars felt very gritty out of the packages, these are my first sintered pads. Any help is appreciated!!
