Eh. 10 years from now, that’s what? Maybe $350. That’s not as fun as ripping and pulling a $2 holo and a bunch of base cards. Plus, at that point dapper dollars will be the national currency anyways.

Caught this restock today.

3 box limit was enforced. Most everyone got some optic, others opted for ETB Fates.

Got there with about 20 minutes to wait for rep to finish.

Nice change of pace from a few just ransacking the stock.

Interesting note: the Excell shipment had a sealed 40 Box 2021 Topps Blaster Case.

Sounds like one of my friends ran into the same virtual line. He mentioned that it’s split into two lines, one for Pokémon and one for sports and you can only sign up for one of them. Once you get the text you show the worker your phone and give your name and they let you choose your product. They also had purchase limits of one box and two hanging items. This only applies for today’s product, anything left over would have a purchase limit of 3 per item.

It sounds interesting to me. As another pointed out, it is a bit frustrating if you just make a target run over break but a lot of times you wouldn’t have had enough time to sit and wait anyway.

I also like the take on purchase limit for purchase initial stock. Help spread it out while not being too strict if there is mostly fat packs and hangers left. Although you could argue that an optic mega and two hangers is a little unfair to the next customer.

Customer service desks that hold cards or establish virtual lines don't make it obvious these things are in effect. An Excel vendor told me about one yesterday and I went to ask about it at customer service and they said there wasn't one (probably because it had already passed). The information flow is all word of mouth and evolving often.

3 gravity feeds of hoops cleaned out in an afternoon at a Target in the suburbs with a hard limit of 3. Not sure if I’m disappointed or impressed.

They limited 2 each for each transaction and I saw guys get on line multiple times to get them (I would guess ten times but I had left). At 2 bucks a pop they seem solid, I always just feel gravity feed can be condition sensitive

I would've passed out if I saw all that Optic in person

Guess Target finally ran out of 2020 TCU? Hard to believe noting the PR for the product.

Looks like Target might have S1 blister packs again? I believe in the past those have an exclusive green parallel of an insert; just wondering what is in them this year.

(And always hoping Heritage black parallels blister packs return)

Target I was at today had at least 10-12 blasters. I bought two. No one else in sight.

I would have gone to the Target Optical to get my eyes checked, because I would have swore I was having optical illusions. And yes, that is a play of words on all the Optic that was there.

Eric1285 · 03-11-2021, 07:55 PM

Anyone know if the small format Target stores carry cards? I've checked one by work a couple of times but it's hard to tell, cause empty might mean they sold out, or it could mean they don't stock cards at the small stores.

Just the green 1986 card on top. 3 regular packs inside. I've only seen them once, but was able to get a Bart, Mountcastle, and Piazza.

Thanks! That will make for an interesting parallel to check out; more so than an insert parallel (why Topps, why?). I have about zero chance to see one of those in a store but if similar blisters return for Heritage I will make an attempt to find those, so, maybe

I just hear these rumors that people buy cases and know which boxes to sell out of the case or something like this, if this is even true, i don't know. I just wanna buy my first hobby box and know i'm not being screwed in some way and have a legitimate shot at getting good cards.

I would support a local store if you can.

Haha I'm not making an investment into a hobby box, just wanna open packs and have fun. I'm sure I'll get about 20 bucks of cards out of it, doesn't matter

elp11 · 03-11-2021, 10:32 PM

I saw premier league prizm blasters out in the wild today. Also saw donruss basketball blasters along with hoops and optic. Of course I was too late to get anything but S1, but it’s out there...

Anyone here from long island and had any luck at target or somewhere?

Any target i go to looks to have 5 inches of dust on the shelf like nothing has been there in ages.

Today (or is it tomorrow?) is the last day to use the 25% circle coupon for toys. Might have to use it on an S1 blaster

assuming they’re still there from last night
