Yes, super tough. Each of the Target and Walmart parallels is numbered to 10, so very short print run. And only available in packs at Target and Walmart.
On ebay, i've seen 3 of the Target parallels show up since 2016. 2 had on-card autos, and 1 had a sticker that was poorly placed. I've seen 1 Walmart parallel, and only after it sold. This was a sticker parallel. I had pretty much given up hope of adding to my PC.
Then last year, I got lucky by seeing one Walmart parallel (sticker) at a dealer's table on the final day of the 2022 NSCC, and I paid way above wanted as I figured I'd never see it again. It was already graded.
Still...I wanted the Target parallel with the on-card. the only other one I had seen graded a BGS 10/10. Got lucky this Spring when one came up for auction and doubled down on my max bid.
it worked out! definitely two of my faves...
what makes them particularly cool is there are no parallel version (gold, orange, red, etc.), just 10 autos of each photo.
the other players in the set also rarely show up (Schwarber, Nola, Urias, Snell, Conforto, etc.)

And am I seeing it right, that the Walmart version is a sticker auto but the Target version is on-card?
