Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

Looks like Wal-Mart has joined Target as well for not selling anymore trading cards on any platform as well, Now where are we gonna be able to buy trading cards besides amazon?

Do you have a Meijers in your area?

Our local Meijers was keeping them behind the counter in the electronic department, the last time I purchased from there, for 2021 Heritage. 

Ironically, our Wally-Mart in New Brunswick (Canada) has some 2020 Topps Complete Sets in stock and a little smattering of UD and Parkhurst Hockey to go along with their "vast " selection of Magic The Gathering packs and sets. The 2020 Topps was priced at $79.92 (Cdn) a set but still seemed a little pricey.

I'm going to brave the crowds in the morning and see if my local Walmarts (two within five miles of each other) have any.  Normally I can get a pack or two that the vultures have left behind.  

I have 3 Targets, 3 Fred Meyers, and 2 Walmarts near either my house or work, and I haven't seen a pack of cards in the wild in at least 4 months. 

Those 3 are usually the main 3 to go for cards. But. If you are really looking for something, Big Lots and Walgreens might have some. I've seen Big Lots have cards on YouTube, they closed mine but who knows? And a worker at Walgreens ordered hangers of Topps series 1 for me. May be worth a try. A friend of mine sent a picture of Wal-Mart security guarding the card section. That is ridiculous considering the crime in that city has made national news. No thanks, I'll keep trading and stay away smh.

My son and I stopped by Walmart last night. They had the usual 100s of packs of Magic the Gathering, a smattering of hockey and some 2020 Topps team sets blister packs which I had never seen before. There was probably 20 or 30 and they were all Washington Nationals with Soto on top. Weird.

They also had a ton of Pokemon packs which I have never seen there before. My son had been wanting to open some Pokemon packs for my YouTube Channel so we picked up a hadfull.

Lastly, they had these weird boxes of college cards I think. The box (more of cube, think the Fleer Update Sets) had Panini and Baylor Bears on it. There were a couple different schools on different boxes. Didn't look at them much as we were in a hurry. Not even sure what sport they were.

Overall, one of the more productive Walmart visits I have had in the last few months.

Keep an eye out for our first Pokemon Pack opening on my channel, hosted by my son, cobyscomics!

Happy trading!

Other than magic and a couple boxes of Pokemon (which my daughter bought) I haven't seen cards in the wild since at least Jan.

I would actually prefer to be able to buy online but you can't find sites selling them at normal prices.  200% markup is not reasonable or affordable.  I really wish Topps would sell direct from their website and just keep printing cards as long as orders are still coming in.  Sure it might create another junk era but as a collector I'm fine with that.  As much as I love seeing a card I pull from a pack selling on average for $100+, I'm just as happy with a 10 cent card because I enjoy the hobby and I don't plan to sell my core set.

FYI, I spotted some 2021 Heritage Baseball at a Big Lots store yesterday - jumbo packs for $6 - on the pegboard racks near checkout.  Some YuGiOh repacks were in their "toy bin" display too.
