Here in Massachusetts a lot of Targets and Walmarts still limit you on cards and they are all locked up behind the counter. It's because of all the douche bag scalpers that are ruining the hobby. Plus the vendors make back door deals before they hit the floor.
Yah I canât believe more people arenât getting caught doing this
I went to target one day looking for panini prizm football and the card guy had just wheeled up his cart full of boxes to start filling the shelves. I asked if he had any prizm and he said he already sold em all.
So yeah the people who stock the shelves definitely make deals and sell the boxes before even going inside the store.
@@inertiathedude4087 Without a doubt. Itâs a shame for the regular collectors that want to rip for the fun of it. Thanks for commenting and sharing your story. đđ»đđ»
It's horrible where I'm at in Central Florida as well. I'm going through the same situation. Got me started opening baseball, basketball and hockey now.
Yeah it insane, like I donât even want to resell just open a box of football cardsâŠ
Brevard is full of reselling vultures. Online has been my only source of any luck. Few and far between, but better than nothing.
That's why I gave up looking for retail in 2020. I just buy singles of my common 8 year PC baseball player ever since.
@@shakascloset1700 Very smart! Good luck!
Personally, I think retail boxes shouldn't be allowed for resale unless they are in breaks or the boxes are being sold at their original price.
I like that. I would stand behind that for sure!
Sucha stupid take đđ
I hate card resellers but thats not a feasible idea! Besides who would enforce that?
You do realize when the boxes are in breaks they are marked up as high or higher then resale prices, itâs part of the problem
Problem is Panini often sales at a higher price than retail stores. Do we go by their price? What needs to be done is Panini stop eking these out slowly. Other years you can get them the first couple weeks but this year with hobby getting pushed back it seems the Panini trickles go immediately to scalpers. I hate "investors"(um scalpers) in flipping that are not collectors.. It robs joy from people that are into the hobby.
its a little sporty out there,i see the same thing here were im at, good luck thanks for the video
@@dumbluck2929 Def. is! One day we would like to find just 1 blaster box (heard the megas arenât as good)âŠthatâs all! đ Thanks for checking in!
In Florida where I live they have a warehouse on the military base and I go get all my Sports cards of all kinds and thereâs no taxes and I get an additional 25% of each purchase
@@ja5435 Wow, nice!! Thanks for your service! đȘđ»đȘđ»
Itâs been rough in Wisconsin, i get lucky every once in a while tho. Remember one day in March they had a bunch of prizm blasters and megas on shelves so I was shocked. The hobby prob isnât as big in Wisconsin than in other states, but most times they have nothing or a couple blasters
@@rickstroh5145 Where we live, we have never seen oneâŠonly fat packs. And we have been in countless numbers of stores for months! Crazy. Thanks for checking in, good luck!
well i live in Florida and have no problem at all . just opened 3 megas . heck i turn them down to many !!!! 20 AT ONE STORE 13 AT ANOTHER AND THE CELLO PACKS EVERY WHERE
@@outtacontrolsportscards9414 lucky!
I tried getting into that group yesterday and I was told that they already had enough people and that Iâm being added to a waitlist, which is insane considering they only are allowing 29,000. Iâm so sick of trying to find any football cards in stores and someone needs to fix this issueâŠ
Really thatâs weird I joined last year⊠but I agree like all of the football cards have been sold out
@@Sportscardhustlers yeah, I thought the same. My hopes of actually finding cards Iâm not having to mortgage my house to be able to afford and finding them in an actual store nonetheless, was quickly extinguished, as always with this industry.
Breakers are making these prices crazy.
Yup, itâs sad đą
Flipping is not even an option or you become part of the problem. Rip it all!!
NAH ITS THE BREAKERS!!!
I hear you. I teach math and coach so no chance I can pay resell prices. Good job on the Stroud. I found a couple Fat packs myself and got a silver Leviâs and Green A Rich. Sometimes luck shines on those who try to do it the right way
Yes sir! âPreciate you! Good luck out there! đ
This is exactly how it was in 2020-2022 all over the country as I checked store after store...lines....no product at all, fights in stores. Gun incident in Wisconsin forced all Targets at that time to go online. So, other than overprinted cards, the "good" stuff is still scooped up. I have seen Optic Football on 3 different occasions in different states...and passed on it. Not worth it.
@@dirkremmington Yea it is almost like those times. The baseball cards are even optic basketball are not as badâŠI can find them pretty much anywhere but these football ones are crazy. We pulled a CJ green velocity from a fat pack (our first one we opened actually) but thatâs about it. Thanks for checking in, we appreciate it!
I live in Florida too. I spoke to my local card shop, and they told me they have a person who's only job is to go and buy up boxes. I did further research and discovered most card shops in my area are located within a mile of Walmarts and Targets. The card shops buy cheap and mark up the prices for online and instore purchases.
Yeah itâs definitely a business and near impossible to get any unless you know someone
My Walmart always restocks on Wednesday!
@@lifegood3322 Thanks for the info..the teacher in us actually are compiling a list of when our area restocks but itâs hit or missâŠnot much consistencyâŠall depends on luck! Thanks for the info!
lol Iâve got 6 blasters and 15 value packs from retail by checking like 2 times a week
The grind is real! Respect
Good luck on your quest! I gave up on looking for retail Panini in the wild. I'm certain my local Walmart vendors are bad actors in regards to what is put out for sale to the public. If you are trying to PC someone, singles purchase are the best way to go at this point. If I can't get a Panini product via an online drop, I save my money. If I'm just looking to rip something I'd rather put money in a higher quality Fanatics product, or pick up an underrated product below MSRP. Panini cards tend to be the result of poor QC, and good luck trying to get a claim processed with them before the next solar eclipse.
@@gregwilliams855 đđ I would hope one day we could walk into a store and find a blaster so we can rip it for you guys! Thanks for checking in! đđ»
Save your money, buy the singles you want. Ripping wax is worse than buying lotto tickets. And thereâs no way these resellers are making much money unless they are selling hundreds of boxes or stealing them. They retail for $60 plus tax and sell for $85-90 on eBay. Subtract the 13.5% seller fee and that leaves about $14 in profit.
Yah thatâs true, idk how they profit either
Thats why you buy for $60 and sell on market place or yard sale fle Market for $90. Your making %50 profit. And no fees.
Yeah. It's complete bs. I haven't seen a single box of any Optic in any store in WA. I've put in a lot of hours as well.
@@thearsenal5537 Very frustrating. Hopefully you get lucky one of these daysâŠwe still are in search of that elusive âluckâ as well. Thanks for checking in. đđ»
Awesome video my man new sub
@@joseromero9933 We appreciate it!
I went to Target yesterday (7/13) looking to see if they had any Garbage Pail Kids, but they didn't. Just tons of Pokemon and random sports stuff. I saw this dude picking up some of these Optic Mega Boxes and asked him about them. He told me they were the hottest thing going and he was getting 4 of them - "his kids were into cards". LOL yeah sure dude. I had no intention of getting anything, but saw he left 3 Mega Boxes on the shelf. I picked up 2 of them for 59.99 each. I opened both last night and although I don't think i got any big hits, it was great fun. Didn't realize these were so elusive - I'll keep an eye out in my travels from now on.
@@travisswiger9213 Thanks for sharing your story. Weâve been to countless #âs of stores for months and have never seen oneâŠ.only fat packs here and there. Good luck!
@@Sportscardhustlers Went back to that same Target today. The whole card section looked like a tornado had passed through. There was nothing. I saw some soccer cards and pokemon - but no Baseball, Football, Hockey, or Basketball. Crazy - guess I just lucked out on Friday.
@@travisswiger9213 Thatâs how our target is all the time!
I think it is ridiculous that someone would buy it for that much over. If we donât buy it, theyâll stop doing it.
I have only been lucky to get some value packs.
Subbed you upâŠhope to see you on my channel next
Yah we got a few hanger packs but thatâs it
Its because the stocker is in cahoots with a group of people who know when he/she restocks it happens in my area right now you go there on stock day and everything gone
Yah thatâs the only way you would be guaranteed to get a box
@@Sportscardhustlers right ive been going every week for monthes hoping optic or something good was there but just empty shelves ,but the price tag is there.
I havent ripped optic football since 2018 when it was always on shelf!
Ive hd very little problem finding packs, blasters and megas in walmart and target. This stuff is way overproduced. Now they got those tins with just optic in them
Definitely depends on location for sure
I live in Houston, and my local Walmart had 2 blasters one day . 4 megas 2 weeks later. I left one of each behind. đ€. Maybe I shouldâve got them all. I havenât seen anything since. I got fat packs from target website. Dicks sporting goods cancelled all three of my orders. And I will buy singles rather than buy scalped đŠ.
I ripped my Megas I found, but it has been rough with all of the resellers in my area. I literally had to barge my way through a guy and his team to snag the boxes I bought. The video I posted shows the resellers taking everything off the shelf. Honestly, the Mega boxes arenât worth it. I got lucky in mine to pull some LaPortaâs for my PC, but most of the other CZcamsrs I have watched break them have been really really rough. I think you have to give them a rip if you find them, but donât go crazy on this product, and definitely donât pay anymore than the shelf price. Good luck next week!
@@B-RanBreaksWe agree, those megas are mostly trash. Still would be cool if we find at least 1! Blasters are good but honestly we canât find either for the last few months and we go religiously! Thanks for sharing your story and checking in, greatly appreciated! đđ»
Nice video!
âPreciate it!
I caught a restock at target 2 weeks ago & grabbed 3 optic megas
Ayyye! Congrats man, some of the targets Iâve been at only lets you buy 2 boxes
@@Sportscardhustlers Im pretty sure it's 3 at my target lol just picked up some 23 contenders blasters from target today
I think these restockers with rj holdings give the heads up to certain people when they restock and get kick backs from these resellers
Yup! We got another video coming out on Fri or Sat talking about that. We had a conversation with some hobby shop owners.
@Sportscardhustlers I don't know how I found your channel on here but glad I did.
We are glad you found us too! Good luck out there!
@Sportscardhustlers thanks it's rough out when your relegated to 2024 topps heritage and Nascar chronicles at the target and walmarts đ
Target, Wal-Mart, quit carrying sport's cards in Salam Oregon. You can buy pokey stuff pilled to the rafters. Miss buying a box to rip after getting home from shopping. đą
Wow, thatâs crazy.
Damn do you live in a big city? I live in a small city with a population of 50k people. My Walmart is always stocked up with everything. I have never seen more than 2 people at a time in the card section.
@@keithdefreitas3399 small town with medium size cities around but no matter where we go, they got zip!
Wnba prizm will have prople beating each other up

Vendor stocked 20 NFL Optic Megas last Wednesday at Walmart close to me. Went by today â8 days laterâ, 16 still on the shelf. Sorry you canât locate any. Itâs trash anywayâŠ
Yea, so Iâve heard. âPreciate it! Good luck!
The internet has ruined it for the collectors. I food a vaule pack and the cards were peeling on the back. So be careful.
Jeez! We had that happen to one of our racing card packsâŠone of the unleashed cards was peeling. Good thing it wasnât worth anything! Thanks for checking in!
I make rounds daily, I caught Excell restocking twice last week - each time she only stocked 6 megas and 12 fat packs, most of the time the shelves are empty across the board though.

Reminds me of the Covid days.
1000% đ
You either have to be buddy buddy with the vendors or have a bot. Nothing but vultures out here. Itâs sad.
Yah it shouldnât be like thatâŠ
If you weren't collecting about 2 year. People have connections or paying vendors
@@Guyver_Master Yup! Imagine being 10 years old and trying to find one to rip for your PCâŠainât happening unless daddy/mommy knows someone or overpays. Itâs a shame.
I literally just did today
I work for MJ Holdings Where do you live? I can tell you the days n times
Do you know when Massachesets gets restocked or CT?
San Diego, do you know if skyb cards also works for MJ holdings? They say that's how he always hits those restocks cuz he's the one restocking them lol
resellers are the worst but it's hard to blame them if people are spending way more than they are worth on secondary market.
@@markgreyson9531 Yup! All about supply and demand.
Vendor probably telling the guy , happening every where you must be new to the game.
@@williamholden8228 nope, not new just wanted to let everyone know because some do not know how hard these boxes are to get. Thanks for checking in!
You better off going into a baseball store and just buying them singles ....you save money that way and you don't have to open up 10 boxes and not get nothing.
110 dollars for a.mega is stupid!! 60 is too high
Couldnât agree more
Hashtag BUY PSA 10's!!!!!!!
Lowes have some
This has been a problem for 3-4 years, welcome to âthe hobbyâ
I understand the love hate relationship now with the hobby đ
Maybe itâs a good thing. Save your money. The mega boxes are way overpriced anyways. Ingest what your saying it sucks. If you have a job you are screwed!
The local LCSâs are sending people
I wonât let these scalpers make a cent off me Iâll buy the hobby blasters and megas that way if thereâs a markup Iâd give it to a business not a dirty scammer
Ps the only box Iâve ever bought from eBay from a reseller contained a cj stroud rookie king a 1500$ card, man these scalpers can kick rocks
I have several
Where have you been finding them?
Got 10...pulled a purple shock CJ .sold 8
Thatâs sick! We pulled a cj out of a hanger pack
I want them to go back to their old covid policy of one per customer.
Itâs been crazy! With self checkouts now, they donât even regulate it. Shame
You keep saying 2024 i think you mean 2023. There is no optic nfl 2024

no chance is the chance of you getting 1000 subs
Thanks bob!
You cant
I gave up. Mother lover resellers ruined the hobby
Such a shame. Just know that we arenât all like that! We just one box to open to show everyone! Good luck out there
Let the degenerate gamblers open the boxes, I will buy the singles I want for a third of the price.
Smart! Let us know if you get anything good from buying singles! Take care and thanks for checking in!
Dude thatâs a bunch of blah blah blah
Thanks, âPreciate your help.
Get over yourselves people need to stop complaining that u can't get boxes of cards u don't know anything about
So itâs a problem that we want a box of optic football cards but canât get them? Interesting
The problem is hearing people still complain about not getting boxes! If u know anything about retail u know that Optic NFL retail is the shortest printed run of any product.
This man has a point. This has always been the case of optic.
14 mega boxes sitting on shelf at my store. I grabbed 1. Hours after restock.
