Target removes sportscards.from site
 

I've noticed that Target has completely removed Sports cards sold from them on their website, so now is it just bot or bust on Walmart for buying wax online?

Good, cards aren't worth nearly the effort that they need to put into it. Should take them out of stores next

Guess I can cancel my Red Card.

My app still shows all the usual suspects...even shows they have Rookies & Stars available at my local (but I know thats not true)
All 3rd party sellers still ripping people off online...

its about time

I hope they pull them from stores, too.

Probably going to que system. Bots will feast.

My app still shows Topps S1 available at my local store but its not. App is broken when it comes to cards.

I was on Facebook yesterday and some guy was selling live rips of retail. Donruss blaster for about $40 and he was making a big deal out of cards that were commons or numbered out of 999 trying to hype them up, and guess what, he sold a few more after. He was saying some cards are going to sell for $15-$20 but they were worth a fraction of that. But fact is, people will buy from these clowns so the 3rd party sellers will continue to camp out. I wonder if in the long run this will turn people off to the hobby knowing they just paid $40 for a retail version of Donruss, etc.

When I noticed this I had hoped maybe they just removed pages to throw off bots.

But a queue system...dang, it makes sense and is both okay with me and kinda sucks.

We just can't have nice things.:rolleyes:

Our local Target is reconfiguring the store, and completely removed the sports card aisle.

Hopefully this is one more nail in the flippers' coffins.

They just evolve. I'm not sure they can be thwarted by mortal means.

my target the manager watches the line grow outside in the morning and purposely doesn't put cards out and waits till a random day and time when no one is there

Just got some Heritage fat packs delivered yesterday ...maybe they'll bring them back during the week

Bots didn’t score last reload, lots of bans and sweet tears. What ever they did work, only us the west coast missed out. Hope they keep it up

They canceled quite a few orders but some bots destroyed initial. I’m currently looking at a screenshot of someone who hit 116 orders of 3 quantity on initial from target. Tough situation for target (and others), just no way to prevent that on any online release, and if you move to Instore only it’s a madhouse and not safe. If you don’t run bots, find some friends who do.

Everyone's gotta get their jollies somewhere. While I sympathize, this seems like it might cause more problems than it is worth. They are just going to get crowds on multiple days instead of neatly dealing with it on one day at store open when it isn't crowded.

Op what are you taking about ? There is some non sport you can buy right now on the target ap .

It’s getting way out of hand with retail sports cards and I hope they totally remove them.After I witness a fight and cops called a few weeks ago.Takes a lot of guts to remove something from someone’s hands over profit.I personally wish they would stop putting product out on Fridays lol.

Print runs should dramatically increase.

We need a Redbox version of retail cards. 1 box per CC/debit/account per day.

Make it happen-

2021 Heritage is available on target.com right now, so maybe this was just temporary.

Megas. Now maybe people can stock up and stop bitching about not being able to find retail.

There were plenty available this morning in a drop and I have friends who got them.

People would use multiple cards. Great idea. I’m imagining it in my head. A line outside Ralphs at the sportscard Redbox.

Yup. No corner dings there...

The drop zone is covered with padding. Not saying it still wont happen but that's what they do.

They should really do what they did with consoles. Order online as pick ups only

Been saying this for years and I'm sure there are vending machines that have the technology to gently bring you your pack(s).

Less than pack searchers....and no fingernail moon indentions.

Not as good as the fire episode when he smashes it open.

They have soda machines that have drop the bottle in a basket and it moves to a drop Off point.

I'm not 100% sure yet but it looks like items that aren't in stock won't show up. There was Donruss and Heritage this morning I've seen multiple confirmations of both but if you search for anything Donruss right now on the site or app and all you get is tons of pages of Project 2020 and Topps Now. Someone also posted the direct link to the specific donruss and heritage items that were stocked this morning and right now if you click the donruss one the whole page loads except for the middle part that shows the item and information about item but the heritage one loads because they still have some in stock.

Safeways in AZ have vending machines of packs. Pretty sure someone just rents the space and fills it with retail. When Josh Allen exploded last year they marked up all of the 2018 Donruss packs from like $4 to $8. i remember Hoops retail packs 2020-21 were like $12 lol

late last year they did still have 2020 Bowman for like $4 a pack, i bought a few and did hit a Witt chrome base. As someone said above, while it does have padding, most of my bowman paper had significant corner damage, just glad it wasnt on the Witt

Wow in Glendale? Or all of the Phoenix area? I need to go check that out. I usually just try the Target in Scottsdale or at the Goodyear one heading out. Would love to see the Safeway ones, nothing like that in my area ever (Mohave County)

Well that’s not true. Either you need a monitor yourself or belong to a group with monitors that will send you notifications the second they go online. Yes, they will cost you a monthly fee, but the thing paid for itself already. When cards are listed online and they sell out in seconds, so you have to be extremely fast, have your credit card loaded, on the site etc. Buy something for a $1 prior. Target has been making you change your password or put in your 3 digit card number again at checkout on mornings they are going to drop cards on the site, make sure you do that prior as well.

These were purchased yesterday by me without a bot on my iPhone. I am not a techy person by no means, but if I wanted a chance at cards for MSRP, I had to learn. There is no way I am standing in line for cards for 10 hours, so this is it I guess for the time being for me.[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210422/3d3ed9703a4f2d7746a3b738ec97fc09.jpg[/IMG]

This is just the best news I’ve heard. Good for them.

Worst thing Walmart and Target ever did was allow 3rd party sellers. It jumbled up the website and makes it hard to find items actually sold by the store.

I just click the box next to “Target” in the “Sold by” section. Walmart has the same thing.

Didn't hobby stores have priority over the big retailers for many years? I wish the manufacturers would go back to that (if that was the case). I was in a local card shop the other day and the owner was selling 2021 Heritage Baseball "on consignment." They weren't cheap and I passed. I'm assuming these were scarfed up at the local Target.

That’s great, good man / woman.

Agreed...let the shoppers get lucky when we’re actually shopping not flipping.
