Haha I’m the soft chewy middle. I’m not really a fan of the product, but I’m sick and enjoy the retail chase. I much prefer chrome product, but I’ve picked up 1 mega 2 blasters 6 hangers and 3 cello packs of chronicles so far to put on ice. I’ve been ripping the topps chrome I find to satisfy the itch.

Tomorrow is a big day for me lol as 3 different Walmart’s around me should stock if history is a guide. Hope I can hit at one at least. There are two targets near me that haven’t stocked this week as well, so I’d like to hit at least one of those, but they are pretty strict about limits typically.

Yeah I'm not counting on that store as they seem to only stock once a week. Just hoping I can get lucky at another one (or a Target).

I think it just seems that way versus Mosaic's odd rollout with none in some states for a full month.

Cracked 5 blasters. Biggest hits. 3 numbered rookies and stars but no big names on those.

That's why their online "in store" thing never works.

So the rep may have been irate that he had to come back another day to stock or he's just a jerk and tired of people asking where's the basketball stuff.

Supposedly the notification gets pushed out a min after a product has been live in Target's sales system. The bots have already checked out before the notification even comes to the app. Nice to know they are pushing more out at least.

There are some good deals to be had on certain cards.

If that Regional supervisor ever sells his stash, just make sure somebody reports it to the IRS, make sure they get their "fair cut" from his unfair advantage.

Here's his ebay page

He's most likely paying taxes already though. Paypal will automatically generate a 1099-k at year end

Truuuu, forgot about that.

Do Walmart Supercenters not carry any trading cards at all? I went to two nearby Walmarts that happen to be Supercenters and they didn't have any cards in sight. I asked an employee and they just pointed me to the toys section but nothing there

Bro, Mosaic had a release that was broken up due to alot of the country shutting down. You been living under a rock or what?

[jnmcards]

Who knows if it’s true or not, but the rep I spoke to said that there likely won’t be any reloads of Chronicles at Target past this initial load.

Again, grain of salt it, but he was pretty emphatic about it.

[beavers]

What’s up with bronze? Last year the bronze crusade was /5. This is not numbered but I haven’t seen any other pop up.

Literally had no idea there were numbered cards in this. Who knows what I overlooked!!!

Earlier this year I found a Mikal Bridges Classics 1/1 on like my fourth pass through my 18-19 Chronicles stash.

Lol, when was the last time you saw a product being stocked one time? In 2020 nonetheless

If I didn’t want people trying to get my phone number or figure out my schedule and follow me, I’d probably say something like this

Curious about this tweet as well.

The slimy part about this (if it is true) is that they work for WM and have an advantage PLUS are getting money from others to sign up for some resell group . . . . I mean, this is probably similar to anyone who has a "hold" on making money during these times but still slimy nonetheless.
