Was in the local Meijer the other day and picked up a double pack of Bowman...no big deal right? No big hits, a few camo parrellels, couple chromes, few RC's, prospects, veterans, etc. You know how it goes....well I get home and start entering everything in this site and low and behold....I needed 7 cards to complete the base set and what do ya know? All 7 needs were met in those two packs! Couldn't believe it....what are the chances that out of all the options that could have been in those two packs I get all 7 needs in one fell swoop? Anywho, I thought it was pretty stinking awesome and considered it the perfect pack(s) lol. That's it, just felt like sharing with some like minded folks.

Cool! And I like the fact that you're just as excited, if not more, for completing the set as you would be for pulling a low SN AU/MEM or something.

What Dan said is just right. Congrats. Finding packs in and of itself is enough of a challenge, I haven't seen a 2021 pack yet. Enjoy!

The heaven of that sounds amazing. I bought 2 blasters of Score football to try and complete that set (about 50 cards left) and I almost the exact same base cards in both boxes.

I have been buying 2 blasters a week of Score off Target and noticed the same base set thing both times.

Thanks and bummer you can't find any in the wild. There's a Meijer I found on one of my drives to an account that keeps the cards in a case at the electronics counter...big signs saying only 2 packs per customer...it's great.

I never heard of Meijer until on here. My local Wal Mart has put them behind the Customer Service and it has been awesome. They randomly throw something out with no schedule. I am a truck driver all over TN, NC, SC, VA, and GA. I have seen one other Wal Mart do this. I had a hot spot in VA where seemingly no one ever bought Cards and they were always there, but sadly that Customer we had there got out of the business selling the product we manufacture.

Ha! Yeah Meijer is based out of Grand Rapids, MI so definitely more common around Michigan and the surrounding states....same concept as Wally World pretty much. That's nice you found a couple of Wal Marts that put them behind the counter....I hate looking in the check out aisle for cards...especially if it's open. Nothing worse than waiting in line just to see empty displays. Also sorry you no longer are able to drive by your honey hole....I do a lot of driving for work too (not as much as you lol) and have my spots picked out that are stocked better than most.
