Anyone having problems finding 2010 Bowman retail packs?

Of all places I can't find any 2010 Bowman Baseball retail blaster boxes in L.A. I've been to 12 Targets, a few Wal Marts and Toys R Us in the city and found nothing, not even single packs. Yet I've seen 2010 Topps Series 2 boxes on the shelves. Anyone else having problems finding this product in their area?

Almost everyone. Find out from an employee when the truck comes in or when the outside vendor stocks them. People are grabbing them and flipping them on ebay. Buying blasters for $20 and selling for $30. When the prices fall, they can just return them for a full refund. No risk investment. Ugh...

I live in a collector dead-zone, I think I gotten every pack that's hit the shelves here.

I just bought 5 blasters and 20 racks at the local Meijer in Indy last Thurs. Haven't found a single back since.

I don't collect modern but just for kicks(Strasburg) I looked at my local Wal Mart and they were out of blasters but did have single packs available for $2.98. I didn't buy any but might in the near future.

Bought a few blasters this weekend in Ohio, then flipped them a few hours later for $30 + s/h on eBay.

I have four Targets in my So. Cal. area. I had little problem finding blasters, racks and single packs prior to Strasburg's debut game. Since then I can't find anything.

I'm told the stores are supplied by an outside vendor and that she only shows up once a month to restock the shelves and that once a week she sends a small shipment to the stores as well.

However I can't get any concrete answers as to precisely when the vendor shows up each month or which day each week she sends some product. Couldn't get her name or business phone# from them either. And since it was an outside vendor Target wouldn't let me place an order with them.

Made 16 trips to local Targets since Strasburg's debut and came home empty.

I no longer have any interest in searching for 2010 Bowman baseball....

Pretty much a risk free investment at the moment that returns an instant 50% return.

Makes me think I should go pick up some blasters I saw....

I can report that there is no 2010 Bowman at a Target in the Glendale/Burbank/Pasadena/Monrovia area. The local Walmart only has the empty box from packs.

On top of the hype, I think being a local kid also drives even more interest.

Found 14 rack packs and 28 retail packs. Thinking about selling but dont know a good price.

my wife works at Target. She's been looking for them for me when she works.

NONE.
