Illusion football probably is what you saw

My local walmart also changed schedule. They typically restock 8-9am on Friday's. At 7:50am this morning it has already been restocked and cleared out. Two racks with zero packs.

Checked a few WM's yesterday was SOL at one as I saw empty display from a distance. The other had not been stocked yet... Today, not even motivated to go look anywhere...

Yeah, it's not a good time to be interested in cards and also have other responsibilities.

might as well avoid clearlake/league city/pasadena area as well. Checked a few yesterday and the card areas are empty. Saw multiple people walking by checking while I was there

Late to the party at one Walmart, mj rep said six guys split two trays ugh, guess that isn’t much between them though

[Sonnys88]

Stopped by a few Walmarts this morning (Philadelphia Suburbs) - one had 5 guys waiting at the card aisle all seeming to be pleasant with each other. No point in waiting there, so checked out a few other Walmarts and they were already cleared out - had Chronicles price stickers on the shelves, but no trays.

Its clear that if you live in or near a major city, you either need to have an "in" with the rep or store employee, or be willing to wait hours on end with others to be able to get something at retail price from Walmart.

Philly suburbs here as well, and yeah it’s a wasteland most of the time.

I’ve gotten lucky once or twice, but most of it is going to people with inside info and/or people that are supplying bribes.

Seeing pics online of 10-12 people just camped out in an aisle is creepy. I couldn't imagine.

I go in a #@#@#@#@ ton of Walmarts and Targets looking for product, I have honestly never seen anyone except 2 guys chatting it up one time. I live in a very populated city.

If you're looking for singles - lots of people are mislabeling the greens and teals. I'd ask the seller which type of box they pulled the card from before purchasing.

Yeah my Wal Mart had stocked yesterday around noon, she said she'd be back today that she had 2 more boxes. Looks like she came back but super early, because two more displays were gone. Ah well, done looking for the week. At least I got some yesterday

I see you're probably the person competing with me on some of these.

Missed on two walmarts today, empty displays. Never sure what time to get there, I did 11:00 but was too late

[WhiteoutJustin]

Local Walmart in eastern PA has 5 guys standing in front of the card section right now waiting to ambush the rep. I said the hell with it and left. To me not even worth that hassle for the little bit you may get split 6 ways and that’s assuming no one tries to be an #@#@#@#@#@#@#@ and take as much as they can. I’ve caught the rep stocking two different times and let him do his thing and both times was the only one there to take what I wanted. Just different now.

I checked out right beside them so overheard them talking about it’s a guarantee the rep would be in today and the one guy actually called him. Crazy times.

Some of these Reps are the worst I will say. The one at my Walmart is a different one than usual today. She comes up and sees us waiting, then takes a lunch.

[Hoopscardz83]

Another tool clearing out his area.

With the way cards have people acting I don't blame her.

[cardlawyer]

Don’t blame her honestly

[orion9578]

I got some today. Yay.

21 Blasters
34 Cellos
12 Hangers

4 cellos and 1 hanger in, I got a Ja flux silver, Zion crucade and a few other nice ones. Also got 3 megas of TC baseball...Robert Xfractor in the first Xfractor pack. Good day so far!

EDIT: Obviously, if you read to the left of this, this was found in New Mexico!
