All trading cards in big box stores are set by a vendor who comes in from outside and does not work directly for the store. Customers then come in and move everything out of place constantly, and the employees don't know where anything goes because the items aren't part of the inventory system probably. All stock is maintained and controlled by the trading card vendor who maybe only comes in to fix things once a week.
This is true for many products for instance all Lays chips are untouchable by employees in every store I've ever worked in no facing no inventorying and no stocking no touching at all unless we're off work buying them it's insane
Ya this is true. It's just made more obvious in cards for several reasons. 1) cards, especially magic, have colored boosters and premade boxes. Meaning customers are more likely to shuffle them around while looking through the stacks. And 2) prices very insanely so while child you may have a 5-10 cent difference. Cards meanwhile have a more noticeable 10-20 doller difference. (I know I've had been suprised buying packs only to realize I've of the boxes was massively more expensive)
its not that they don't know where they go its just that it will take to much time to fix, because they would have to physically check the skus on each product and the tag, just for another customer to come along and screw the whole thing up. Plus as you said its the vendors job so really no point.
Worked for Anderson merchandisers for awhile and man, the baseball cards was still probably the most sought after. People would be waiting for me to finish stocking the shelf in a small line beside me eagerly waiting to grab all of the fresh products. Early bird Definitely gets the worm when it comes to Walmart trading cards. I use to stock it by like 9 am every Friday.

I have never. NEVER. bought a magic product from Walmart that has been in the correct spot with the correct price. And they NEVER will sell it to me for the price they stock it at.
Scan at point of sale matches stored pricing information to the barcode. The sale price is literally whatever the database says it is. That's the price "they stock it at." It has nothing to do with what shelf it's on.
Gosh i remember the days of going to Wal-Mart to buy star wars ccg booster packs and you had to get an associate to open the glass case they had all the ccg cards in.
That's insane, I have 5-6 Walmarts throughout town and they rarely have anything except commander decks, sometimes they'll have some set or draft packs and I haven't seen a mystery cube in 8-9 months lol
The real surprise for me is they aren't behind glass. Only half the Walmarts I go to even have cards, and they all keep them behind glass, always have to call someone to get them for me.
@@dravenboquet9498 Every business only exists based on how much they can rip off their workers or their customers. In marxism we refer to the difference between what something costs (after maintenance and labor) to the cost something is sold for as "surplus value". If you were getting paid fairly as a worker, and charged fairly as a consumer, there would simply be no surplus value. Since we know this, we can justify stealing from the bourgeoisie because the bourgeoisie steals from/exploits the working class every single day.
Unfortunately walmart doesn't make the prices on cards a company rents self space from walmart and they set the prices that's why all sells are final and cannot give refunds or reduce the price of messed up packages
The price in the video is the commander price, not the collector box price. The collector box price RETAILS at over 200, so yes, that price online is correct. And there are 12 packs inside
@@harryosborne8215 Nope, not what I'm referring to. The collector booster box with 12 packs typically retails for the 180-200ish range, but there are sellers who put these single boosters online for very exaggerated prices and sell them from tricking people that it's a 12 pack box. Tolarian Community College has a video talking about the confusing nature of the big chain store collector booster packaging.
The problem when it comes to cards at Walmart is the fact that they are stocked by an outside vender who chooses what to stock, Walmart doesnt choose what gets stocked/displayed when it comes to sports/tcg cards -- Wal-Mart Employee
Bro it's insane to think that they had potentially cards in packs worth hundreds, sometimes THOUSANDS of dollars just sitting on shelves...in the front of the store, away from all the action... They deserved that L.
My Walmart hasn't had cards in weeks. That said, they're always way more expensive than MSRP when they do have them. I know the label says this is for the commander deck. But I believe the Brother's War collector boosters were $35 (despite the tag on the shelf saying 24.99) there, so this wouldnt surprise me
The tag on the shelf says "mtg phy awo cmd dk" cmd dk stands for commander deck. If u look u can see commander decks behind the collector box. The boxes are just in the wrong spot.
Thats why i just grab the bundle or the precon i want; and i grab a single pack that i hold on the back of it; go to self checkout and scan the booster pack instead and boom; your good. Fvck big box store prices. And no i dont feel bad about it either.
You don’t understand what’s going on here. Those boxes RETAIL for over $200. Not secondhand, MSRP. The “are they high” is because the price is 1/4 what it should be. But if you look close ish, it’s because that’s the price for the Commander box.
@@harryosborne8215 thats not an entire box thats one pack in large packaging to prevent theft, im aware it’s the wrong lable and price is for commander decks , but walmart definitely over prices their pack’s because the cost of all the extra packaging due to theft
