This made me go through the Prizm in basketball/football I’ve opened and 2016 optic. Nothing great but found a Siakim holo RC, Mahomes 2nd year Prizm base and Lebron Base. I couldn’t believe what these sell for. $60 for a 2nd year base card of Mahomes. Laughable

Yeah what's going to happen is unlike before where a normal person could sit there and get an order of 99 at a time, like mcwildcats did, now a bot will get orders of 99. Can't believe those morons put up the product pages for the bots before release and still have the order limits as 99. Target.com is quite a friend to the bots.

Only the blaster gives me the option to be notified when back in stock. I don’t know why I’m putting so much effort into this, no one is buying any online without a bot.

Here is the thing I don't understand. I don't know if anyone remembers this happening or not. With Optic Basketball for a week or two it was impossible to get on target.com. Gone in seconds. Then there were 5-6 reloads in a week or so where you had to click a bunch of times but the product didn't sell out for over a minute. Each time I was able to add to cart within 30 seconds. I got an order in each of the 4 times I was available. One time I got 2 and another I missed out on a second order by probably 1 second. I lost out on the other 1 or 2 times because of work. Why can't Target have that system they used for those Optic reloads put back to combat the bots?

At this point I don't know why Target and Walmart don't put up an online system that lets you preorder cards and has a set limit per account or per address. This way pretty much anyone looking to preorder can get some of every product. As much as I hate the Topps raffle even if they want to do a raffle to preorder that would be better than what they both currently do for online sales.

I do think the Target strict limits in stores work. I've gotten product every time from stores with strict limits. But it is more extra work for the employees especially when customer service is busy. There have been times I've stood in line for over 15 minutes cause they get really busy. So in Target's case I'm all for limits. But from their side its more work for the employees.

crossing fingers that they are testing out ways to catch the botters.

O for I lost count how many Targets/Wallys across Chicagoland today. No Chronicles, no Chrome. But, hey, I got a Goodwin's blaster, a Topps BB S1 fat pack, and some S2 blister packs. I'll be drinking tonight. lol

[matt roberson]

Target had a bunch of prestige football, is that any good? I really want to bust something!

I may have to scour the internet tonight and try and find something for a reasonable price.

Megas and Hangers are. Blasters are not.

[Backtocollectin]

No basketball here either but found Chrome and soccer... left Some Chrome for the kids

[Siberian13]

Why does 2020 Topps Chrome baseball only allow 5 per order as they reload? Maybe this changes from 99 to 5 too?

Thanks man, you too! Just way too much competition in-store around me. I don't have all day, every day, to check.

what part of Cali?

[Chris P]

I'll probably strike out on this but I hit the mother load with Chrome. Got some blasters on Topps.com and then got an email from Wildwood Enterprises saying they had a limited quantity of Chrome in stock. Picked up 50 Cellos and 24 hangers at MSRP with no tax free shipping! Can't wait to get it all in and bust since I don't stand a prayer with Chronicles lol

Sad to see not too many members here found any while there's starting to be a decent amount of listings. Usually we have a lot of people here posting their haul. Lots of competition now.
