ALL optic football megas!! Well I know there is a limit of 3, so I just stand back and watch. He walks to the cashier and then she rings up 20 optic megas for him by doing multiple transactions.

How much $ did they slip her on the side?

The Target by me in a large metro area has resorted to keeping the sports cards behind the counter in electronics (the department where they sell “collectibles). The flippers left all of the baseball cards alone so I was able to grab a couple fat packs, 3 hangers and 3 blasters of S1. Left the TCU (I have a lot still). I went back later in the day to buy more and a sales associate pointed out they also have megas (was not mentioned the first go ‘round), so I got 2 of those and 3 more hangers and blasters too.

Only ripped 5 boxes and the best hit was a gold /2021 Dalbec. The Bellinger inserts are so “blah”.

I would have definitely cried foul and called for the store manager right there on the spot. F that S!

I don't think I would've made a scene but I would've walked up and asked if I could have one or two.

Agreed!! I would NOT let this go down without resistance! I would of literally just took 3 from his cart!

callou2131 · 02-25-2021, 04:02 PM

I figured there wasn't much I could really do. I was just shocked by it. It wasn't the regular stocker either. I have never seen this lady before. I figured I would leave it alone since she grabbed me some hoops megas from her box and was very friendly to me. The other one is nasty most of the time.

I'm not getting locked up over some football cards. I came close already in that store with a pack searcher and my wife drug me out. I don't handle confrontation well, so generally in public, I choose not to have them.

Lol, that and my kid was there, and she reminded me of it. It was bad. I spend 8 to 16 hours a day inside a jail using all my patience, and when I am off, I have a hard time controlling it, so I just avoid it. Like, to the point where if my order of food is wrong I just eat it. After 15 years I deal with enough BS at work, so I avoid it all together when I can. Stops me from stroking out.

Yeah I've been luckiest with Walmart hangers though I find hangers are more susceptible to card damages. I grabbed the last two hangers from a Walmart this AM and pulled a Jo Adell Platinum anniversary /70 with a tiny ding on one of the corners and a Mike Trout Blue with fuzzy white corners. Not complaining though.

Reston, VA has a few blisters and probably 50 retail packs left. I got the last blaster

2 big box stores today one on a highway one in a suburb not on a highway. The super big box store on the highway did not look like it had seen sports cards ever and had signs w/limits. the one not on a highway w/limited parking available had a few blasters.

glassofwater · 02-25-2021, 10:22 PM

Good day 4-5 of target had cards. The first one I had to sign up with my license first time I got the last hoops blaster and hoops fat pack. I got the melo ball in the fat pack. Picked up a lot of s1,

4x mega
6x blaster
7x hanger boxes

Tons of rookies, vintage and a 70th anniversary

Saw 4 blasters of S1 two weeks ago, bought one. Nothing since. Have been eating healthy with plenty of fresh food to cook though.

gotcha... wonder why they don’t use the text app? Wonder if with the app you can give your number more than once or something.

10 neck beards in line for my local Target to open today. Each walked away with assorted Funko Pops.

I overheard 2 employees talking and one said "these guys go home and sell that stuff, and the other day a kid asked me if we had any Pokemon cards and I had to tell him no we don't"

STLtoMN · 02-26-2021, 09:18 AM

went to a local spot that i sometimes have success at locally and the card section was wiped out... went and checked back in toys and found 3 random S1 blasters randomly hidden throughout the area...

wish i could leave a note for the guy to let him know all the awesome stuff he left me lol

Too bad the corner is screwed up on the 70th
