All Targets are wiped out. The product is good and the hoarders loved it.
I was lucky enough to get a few 2020 Chronicles Football Mega and Blaster boxes. Each have one auto each. The retail is $39.99 for the Mega and $19.99 for the blaster. Exceptional value compared to hobby,
Oh they are selling cards, they just get wiped out the second the excel reps show up. All walks of life, non-collector flippers, stalking the reps and buying any and everything they can get.
I’m just in lowly Arkansas, but you’re on to something as far as I’m concerned, and it’s not just the usual suspects. Here, they’ve lately allotted much of the old sports card space for Magic and Pokemon stuff, and the small space left is pretty much bare, which has never been the case since we got our Target 15 years ago. Curious.
It's not only Target. Walmart is experiencing the same situation. Both outlets have been devoid of sports card product for weeks. For some interesting comments on the situation tune into the Blowout Sports Card Forum.
I was in the local Target last month and the had boxes of all sports dating back to 2018. Open boxes look picked through and I had no idea what to buy just to crack for fun. Football was pretty slim pickings. Next time in what should I look for in unopen? Ideas please.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Anything basketball that is avail at msrp is a winner.
Topps chrome seems to be a hit.
About the only things you see at Target and Walmart where I live are a little bit of hockey, a little bit of low end baseball, and empty display boxes for everything else.
Besides BKB, the last few years of Topps Chrome BB has been a no-brainer buy. You actually have a shot at these in store.
Target has been dry for a very long time, I haven't seen any basketball products especially. I grabbed some 2020 Donruss jumbo packs of baseball and some 2019 Diamond Kings baseball at Walmart. Interestingly I found blaster boxes of 2020 Bowman baseball at a Barnes & Nobles, paid $17.99 each so that was a deal.
There is $ to be made in modern boxes, if you can find them.
