Oh I'm definitely not complaining, I realize I'm super fortune to find even one in this environment. The rep that I talked to said she restocked a store 20 minutes away last week and somebody bought the whole display before she even left the store.

Hopefully we all get a bit more lucky once (and if..) Target and Walmart get their full in-store allocations. At least we can count on Target to supply us with some 2016/17 Complete fat packs

I haven’t even seen the 16/17 Complete that others have seen...if I did, I’d probably buy it all just because I’d be so excited to find any basketball at SRP, haha.

Leave that stuff for the kids. Sucks to hear your having so much trouble in Tampa finding any. Lotta card shop owners and dealers I feel have the reps in their pockets in that area so it probably rarely hits the shelves.

A friend of mine called MJ corporate to complain about this and they actually tried to help him out and remedy the situation with the crooked reps from Anderson and Excel.

I’ve seen this story too many times. Nice insert, and lebron stuff starts exploding.

I started stocking up early and often on the lebrons - green, silver, even got one of the /99. Beautiful cards. One of my favorite insert Sets in a while.

Waste of money. Boxes of 12 packs of those can be found for $36.

Few weeks ago they were $25. Betting thats how Excell got their stash.

It's still ongoing. In this one particular incident, a friend of mine literally saw a rep meeting a guy in the back of the walmart store near the dog food area and was loading the Mosaic into his cart before she even got to the card area. Pretty shady stuff.

Crazy the lengths some people will go to get basketball cards. I guess it's understandable given their current resale value on the secondhand market.

Yeah it’s definitely tough out here, I’m sure the same stuff is going on in my area that your friend saw. I haven’t seen anything like that with my own eyes, but it doesn’t surprise me. I’ll check some Targets once it starts rolling out and maybe I’ll get lucky.

Thanks for the info! I had no clue what this stuff actually sold for because I’ve never looked it up. This must be one of the only modern basketball sets in the world right now that can be found for under SRP.

Can you clarify? Don't follow what you are pointing to.

Re-load of what? Doesn't look like it was blasters as I have it turned on to notify me when in-stock and the button didn't change (Target is good on these unlike Wally).

Oh, yes. Sorry, I thought you were talking about just now or something. I would just assume we'll see the Megas at some point soon. Don't expect to see the cello packs as they don't usually sell those I don't think. And the hangers are Wally exclusive. And I'm sure the blasters will be hard to get going forward now that the botbois have a link.

Yikes, how does someone sell it for that low? Isn't that card an easy $1k?

I’d say around 5k lol. I’ll be kicking myself for not buying it immediately, I hesitated. It was listed as blue reactive.

No need to be jealous, just message seller and offer more! That's how it's done around here.
