How many times do you go a week? How many different locations do you visit per week/per day?

Closest Target is 2 min from my house so I can check that whenever but usually Tuesday-Thursday.

I have 2 or 3 other Targets all within 15 minutes or so as well. If i check all of them its about a 30-45 min roundtrip.

I own my own business so I could go much more if I wanted but I like not spending too much time on it. If i hit i hit, if not its all good

Ive been having good luck with just my couple stores though. (Except today lol)

Yeah but at that time every Hobby box had color in it and every other retail package had a Gold card in it. Blasters might have 3 Golds.

My local target finally put up a sign that they only sell sports cards Fridays at 8am, first come first serve. Unbelievable how retail has gone from a dime a dozen to water in a desert. Very sad times.

yanksfan1 · 03-24-2021, 03:41 PM

Has anyone come across a fresh walmart stock this week? Curious if they're getting prizm soccer this week and if so what formats

I ask because anytime I go anywhere in the last 3 months that used to have cards (Target, Walgreens) it is completely wiped out...it even looks like people tried to take the shelving, lol.

Two stores in so cal now have signs up about the friday at 8a thing. Will be interesting to see when the others do it. If this is going to work it has to be all or none. I like the idea as long as all stores are on board!

mattsey9 · 03-24-2021, 05:25 PM

As a former buyer for a couple of big box retailers, I continue to be stunned that MJ/Excell/Target/WM haven't at least doubled their prices on cards in response to the frenzy. They're leaving a ton of money on the table.

lol I hear ya. Thats how mine look most days of the week too.

The good thing is, even though there are people out looking for cards, there has never once been a line. So if Target has anything, I can get it quick with no wait.

None of my Targets stock at opening. Couple of them stock around the same time of day though, so once I determined that general window, its been easy to just check it around that same time and more times than not Ive gotten lucky. They do alternate though so its not an exact science.

It's coming sooner than later. It will be a gradual increase, blasters go from $20 to $30, and eventually $40.

I’m confused why they don’t jack up msrp and crank out junk wax level production. Especially NBA, the demand is there.

Long term sustainability is irrelevant if you can make so much money today that every material shareholder can retire tomorrow

Late last year WM online did play around with doubling and tripling the prices of some products like Bowman Chrome megas and Bowman Platinum. The prices were not popular. And of course HHN was $150 a box and 3 hobby packs for $25. Not sure why WM has not done that lately though. Thought it was a good strategy to keep the bots away.

one of my targets today completely stocked all pokémon, along with prizm soccer and series 1. all basketball/football was held back with a mention of potentially 8am friday, but they admitted they didn’t know exactly what they were going to do with it. they mentioned needing to get the other stores in the area on board.

Damn for real? Are you in Cali by chance? You can dm me if you want lol

Walked into a WalMart early this AM. Stocker just left. Got 12 Heritage blasters, 10 Donruss NBA fat packs, 9 Donruss NBA hanger boxes, and 5 prizm soccer blasters. Could have had more but shared some of the fat packs and hangers with two other people there. One of the last stores around me with no limit.
