If USPS is swamped in your area then UPS often skips the handoff and completes the delivery. I can't even remember the last time I received a Surepost package from the post office rather then the UPS guy.

Was also going to add this. Right before the holidays is when I started to get mine straight from UPS.

UPS ground for surepost rates, at least for the time being, is an unexpected benefit of the USPS meltdown. Not so great if you rely mainly on the post office which is to say 99% of everyone on this forum.

I was bidding on an auction for 4 hangers, and I was winning with a relatively low bid and thought I might get a steal. Nope, haha. Someone bid the auction up to $180 for the 4 hangers. When eBay sends the email telling you that you lost the item, they always include similar items to the one you just lost. I looked and there was a lot of 4 hangers for $159 BIN. I clicked and looked at the sellers other items and they had 4 cellos for $88 BIN. Snagged them both quickly before someone else saw them.

Ripped one of my megas today. Best cards pictured + a Keldon green cracked ice.

6 year old son opened a hanger today, Zion Arriving Soon Orange Prizm... kid might have the luck, he bought 1 Pokémon Champions Path last week with Christmas money and hit a rare shiny charizard... crazy and it’s tough to see my other son who understands more about the cards and opens and gets less... I have found often some good teachable moments through this hobby though

Dope!

My son recently opened a Prizm football blaster for Christmas and pulled a Jefferson red prizm. Sold that for $160. Then opened a Topps Chrome blaster and pulled a Kyle Lewis gold /50. Kid has the best luck

Keldon green is bigger than you probably think.

i didn’t see enough product in store this week to get price down to 2x. walmart and target both had modest stocks, more than last week, but still not prizm level quantities. will be interesting to see what next week brings.

There's no numbered base in hangers.

Since I’ll take any opportunity possible to disagree with this guy;

One of my contacts picked up and has in hand from 2-3 stores:
2 red hoops megas
1 blue hoops mega
5 blue hoops blasters
16 hoops hangers
37 hoops cellos

Also grabbing another:
6 Hoops blasters
18 Hoops Hangers
40 Hoops cellos
That a buddy has waiting for him. And this is from a single store drop where he had to split with that friend.

Based on the logic that one or two people’s successes in finding product means it was heavily printed, this stuff was printed to the moon 🙄

that’s about what walmart’s were seeing. 1-3 megas largely, a few blasters, and then 18 hangers and 40 cellos more or less. that’s one week. up to this week it’s been like 6 blasters a store.

for a month now we’ve been seeing prizm with as many as 20-30 megas a week and tons of blasters. hoops will need to keep this up for a few more weeks with large quantities to move price down significantly. i expect they will. just like prizm there was no reason to print light. so in your opinion prizm was stocked light and hoops heavy.

Speaking of prizm, i picked up about 25 more blasters, 2 megas and a gravity feed this week, shoot me your address if you want me to kick some down, i know you’re having trouble finding any of your own. i’ll help you pick out the “hits” and sleeve them up too if you need help!

Lmao. Glad to see you’re still here.

Prizm has not been released in nearly those quantities for a month, stop exaggerating. It’s been 2, maybe 3 weeks max and it’s slowed down a bit.

I also deleted all of the Prizm he got from me after copy/pasting his text as it wasn’t relevant to my point, but thanks!

You def have an open invitation. Would love to take you up on that offer!

are you kidding? i personally picked up 25 blasters of prizm in one store this week. last week i personally picked up 9 megas.

either way, i’m seeing stock first hand in a city of more than 1 million people, so doubtful what we’re seeing is completely different than the rest of the country. no point arguing with a guy going off what someone told him lol when i know first hand.

anyway, i’ve got to get back after it tomorrow, i’m only sitting on 5 megas, 25 blasters, 25 hangers and 24 cellos of hoops, i hate being that light. hope the heavier stock continues because i will definitely get my share!

Where are you based?? I've been to every target in my area (SF Bay area) and I can't find anything, at all. Also tried a few Walmarts and zero. I mean, no boxes, hangers, cells, anything.... I hear of fights and delivery guys bring stalled store to store. I got frustrated and desperate enough to sign up for these forums and start a thread (more like a cry for help). I'm just trying to rip some wax, collect some cards and it seems impossible to do that in SF. If you're offering to share some of the spoils with a stranger, I would be grateful.

I've seen multiple sources mention that almost all Bay Area Target stock is backdoored. Seen a few pics here and there of San Leandro or Santa Clara getting some, but that's it and if you're not there waiting, you're probably not getting any.

There are so few Walmarts around, finding product there is near impossible.

Got my Stockxx order. Was supposedly a mega. Box was heavy. Turned out to be the box set.

Your definition of light is most everyones definition of a dream haul

Naturally the big restocks hit when I'm traveling for work and unable to check my local stores. Ah well.
