    Yeah I'll be on the lookout. There are like 5 Targets on the way home from work. Checked 3 more on the way home but no luck. Didn't look like today was restock day for all of them.

    Also pro tip for target. They have a Pokemon section also in the toy section, and sometimes some cards are put there. Noticed a few times.

    Watched a few breaks of those and not a fan. Very boring. I got in on the Braves in the Topps Million Card Rip for the release and that's about all I'm going to do with series 1.

    Well went to Target and they had a ton of Topps Series 1 hanger and blaster boxes and some Nascar Prizm blaster boxes and that's about it.

    Nah, no need for me. I appreciate the offer, tho.

    A dude that was in the aisle with me told said the Walmart on the other side of town is well stocked usually so I might try that one day this weekend or next week sometime.

    Can confirm 2020 Topps Hanger boxes and packs are the way to go. My brother pulled a Bo Bichette SP and Vlad Jr. Autograph #/10 from them this weekend.

    Forget the blaster boxes, go with the hangers.

    Sounds like y'all are dealing with resellers. Coming from the shoe world, shit sucks. If there's $20 profit to be made, shit sells out immediately.

    The whole market is inflated outside of the retail boxes at Walmart’s/Targets. Card shops are selling individual hobby packs of standard stuff for more than blasters.

    Umm I figured they'd made them for baseball but no topps minis and chrome minis were at least briefly a thing at the end of their football cards.

    Pretty sure if they have them they'd be for sale on blowout.

    Stopped by Walmart before work tonight. Bought like 5 hangers of 2019 heritage. Trash as expected. Bought 2 hanger boxes of 2020 hit an Aquino auto and a Gary Sanchez gu. my 2020 box was trash. Then to my surprise the had two 2019 series 2 blasters. I hit all the big names , then on the last pack I hit The Eloy Jimenez rainbow foil sp. Last 2 sold for $80 on ebay. Very solid

    Hangers are the $10 boxes that have like 35 cards in them right?

    Hanger boxes are indeed the $10 ones but there's about 60ish cards in them. At least for topps...

    I bought 1 spot in a case break last night for Optic basketball out of curiosity/boredom. Wow, what an awful product. At ~$300 a box you're going to get slaughtered.

    Unfortunately, it is impossible to rip any basketball products these days.

    I ripped some packs earlier today for the first time in 10+ years...... Some smaller boxes from target. 2 of 2019 Panini Optic NFL and 1 box of 2020 Topps Gypsy Queen MLB. Pulled a nice on card autograph Keston Hiura numbered to 99. Forgot how fun it is to open stuff

    I think I've posted in here before and forgot the answers I got. So I used to collect cards back in my childhood, so I don't know about anything from the past 20 years when it comes to cards. I'm looking into getting my boy into it, but I also would like it to be an investment for him and I. What should be start with and where are the best places to purchase them. Keep in mind there are not lots of hobby shops in

    What sport would y’all let in on? Because basketball is a tough hobby. Not a lot of players/rookies and now a days it gets eat up and regurgitated into resale markets off jump. You can shop local retailers easily for football and baseball and just like any other product in the world, the online market is robust. That being said, outside of hobby boxes for football and baseball, both are a slow burn.

    Prizm and Optic are great places to start with football because they are gorgeous cards. Topps and Bowman are really the only options for baseball
