Figured the checkout would error out considering items I had in my cart werent gonna make it through. Nothing to be done about it obviously but their system is trash

Manual users got the ETBs and Donruss. Not many but it was possible. The $19.99 and $29.99 no manual user could even add to cart let alone get an order.

It's always fun to see the new wrenches that Target throws in our checkouts. I've gotten high traffic errors before, but the address errors this morning were bizarre. Also made me type in my whole RedCard number again, so I burned valuable time finding my wallet. Every week is an adventure.

Target lets you add up to 10 users on each redcard. Because of that, I don't think they really care about who or what is getting the product.

Only rip and collect, man! It's a family affair in my house. PC all Cleveland teams.

Pick one: Bots scoop up all the product in seconds or Target increase retail price by 100%

[JeremyNick]

At least with Poke there will be some in stores to possibly grab.

It’s just funny about two weeks ago my oldest son gets interested in Poke cards. I could have bought him plenty 6-7 months ago.

False dichotomy fallacy.

[Pacmeyer]

You can already get retail from sellers online, not just from unreliable flippers on ebay/FB, around 2x or less. Why go 100% markup now when you can at least try msrp at Target?

Reality--either join a BOT group or get shutout--those are the ones getting all the better product --that wake up and BINGO they have product bought before you can even have a chance to pay --manual users are OUT of LUCK--sorry!

(question so why is Topps Chrome Baseball still available--doesn't take a rocket scientists to figure it out--the BOTS groups don't want it)

Because this thread is full of people whining about bots and not getting any desirable retail product.

[OneSickDegen]

If there is an entire industry designed to eat up all the online inventory from massive retailers like Target and Walmart, then maybe the market needs to adjust. It's already starting too.

I assume you are in a BOT group why would you complain. I got a text showing a bot member got Donruss FB mega and Pokémon limits--wasn't even logged in to Target On-line-- just facts!

[wxguy44]

Joining a bot group doesn't guarantee success either. Depending on upfront cost and/or monthly fees, that might be worse tbh.

Correct I agree--50/50 chance-- as the old saying goes--if you cant beat them join them--

(I have spoke to Target customer service several times-replied to their make things better questions, all in vain their reply--we are sorry- )

I keep alleviating my POMO by buying more Prestige and Prizm Draft to shove in a closet.

Prizm Draft is really underrated in my opinion. The On Campus inserts provide a really nice chase if you believe in any of the rookie QBs.

Right on, welcome to BO!

I mean you're your own person, you can make your own financial choices. But I would strongly suggest you analyze the added cost of using bots/bot groups on top of the actual cost of the products...is that actually better than buying resale? I wouldn't say it's 50/50 though for bot success. I see no need to freak out you struck out on Donruss though.

I’m confused as to how Prizm draft stays in stock when you think about how many other things have come and gone .

It’s a Prizm football product at old msrp .


Also , when Prizm draft first dropped , the first two weeks were immediate sell outs and people complaining here about not getting any

100% agree.

Prizm DP blasters for 20 all day every day.

Cards are beautiful, printed & cut nicely, decent chance at #'d parallels, autos, SP inserts.

It’s all dictated by resale value.

No margin on DP currently.

Good rip if you like college product though

I believe that was mostly ab the Megas selling out

Draft products more than most have a huge cliff after first to market and NFL uni cards.

So the initial rush was more than justified and the fact they are sitting now makes complete sense.

There is little resale value either on the box, or singles at this point. If people want to hold, or just collect - great value. Let’s be honest though, resale value is king. People want bag on “the flippers” but won’t acknowledge the “you’re gonna pull $2 worth of cards from the $40 box” mentality, which is just resale value from a different angle. Very few people are pure collectors, myself included.

[hammertime]

Springfield Target has cards (mostly hockey but some football and baseball) and the sign has changed back to limited quantities.

Tried this morning and like most failed..had it at the checkout page twice before it emptied out and then out of stock. I thought after hearing the success of Donruss Blasters last week, might have a chance at these and so I got reeled in again. Stupid me lol
