2018 Target Bowman Mega Box Poll - Page 2

duce22 · 05-24-2018, 02:35 PM

This is kinda familiar to me, I didn't get any Bowman Mega 17 on the first go round and ended up with nearly 30 between my two usual stores on the second wave in Nov & Dec. Only difference is I knew to look for them in advance this time and have nothing to show for it, and there is no evidence that there will be a second wave yet.

I'm curious if anyone actually wants the cards or are they just after the hype of selling the boxes.

In Cincinnati Target, workers acted like they didn't know anything about. I finally found out that they were stored at the electronics desk and you had to ask for them. It felt like I was buying some sort of contraband.

Bought 20 online on Sat night/Sunday morning. But wanted to buy some in stores. Hadn't found a thing until today. Excel lady checked the back and found a whole display. Bought all 30 and now I'm done.

I told myself I wouldn’t waste time with these after buying buttloads of Bowman already. I haven’t even looked and have concentrated my time and money on NOW products.

Searched many targets in SWFLA, finally found 30 boxes at one target!

smapdi · 05-24-2018, 03:29 PM

I don't think they've hit my area yet. The two Targets I go to most often are just about the worst ever for cards, although they got Bowman last week. But then only single pack gravity feeds, no blasters that I saw. Either someone is very efficiently hoovering up all boxes (quite possible) or they just haven't gotten here yet. And I haven't heard of any megaboxes locally from a couple shops I go to who look for retail product. Never saw any of last year's megaboxes, either.

Searched Seattle area Targets:

Fedederal Way-nope
Renton-nope
Tukwilla-nope
Downtown Seattle:nope

Havent checked North but probably nope

Nothing since the first wave of Heritage....

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I really wish Target would institute a 1 box per customer limit. They'll still sell like hotcakes and cut out the middle man looking to arbitrage for profit.

east or west?

rkuhn3 · 05-24-2018, 03:44 PM

I don't have the time and energy to go Target hopping chasing ghosts, so I accept that I am missing out on this one. If I go to Target for a non-baseball card reason, I will look to see if any are there, but I have no expectations.

Find one display of 30 and it’s more than worth the time

It's a cool product and I'm just disappointed I can't open a box or two. No need to insult me
