  Thanks,
  
  I didn't think it was a very good deal, but I've never seen that at Wal-Mart before so it kind of had me double thinking it.

  I was at a Walmart a few months ago when I was a bit surprised by what I found..
  
  Besides all the usual stuff..
  
  1989 Upper Deck packs
  1988 Donruss wax box
  1987 Donruss wax box
  several 1988 Topps traded sets
  
  Curious, I guess Walmart's suppliers still have this stuff in stock.

  You can get ALL of these for about that same price:
  
  1987 Topps Factory set $16
  1987 Topps Traded set $5
  1987 Topps wax pack 50 cents
  1987 Topps cello pack $1
  1987 Topps rack pack $1
  
  1987 Topps wax carton $14 Still dirt cheap after 20 years!
  
  Or if you REALLY want to treat yourself, why not go with the Cadillac of 1987 Topps for just $80?

  I don't know what retail is for these but I was getting cases of them for about $110 a couple years back. Sold them for $10 each--they sold well. I think $20 is too high, since you can get either a factory set for the same price, or an unopened rack box, or a PSA 9 bonds and McGwire for that much.

  I just blew out 2- '87 vending cases at a local show for $75 each....
  
  Not too many people want this stuff anymore.

  Even Target - on occasion has some "dump junk" for sale.
  
  On the distribution to Walmart and Target.
  
  I know that the Treat Entertainment Corp of Florence Alabama had the contract to supply Walmart. I don't know who currently holds it. They were responsible for the famous T206 Wagner PSA 8 card deal a few years back.
  
  But, I do know that the exclusive supplier of cards to Target is the Excel Corporation. I see the local distributor at my store from time to time and talk for a bit.
  
  So, that's some pretty big buying capability when one is talking about a few thousand stores.
