As the other comments have said already. The quick answer is no, but....as a person who does not open many sports cards. This video does a great job of showing you what retail products to stay away from if you're just a casual sports card collector. Becuase most casual collectors just look at the box and go *"This one looks good"* and picks it not knowing that the box they just picked is ass. It's also good for those that do collect a lot, but don't rip much and tend to only do it every now and then when they're at their local Target or Walmart and happen to pass by the card section. That being said stay away from it if you can.
@sourcingsailor49873 ай бұрын
As bad as and as worthless as retail product is, it does accomplish one valuable thing...it exposes local card shop owners, who either buy up all the high demand retail Hanger/Mega/Blaster boxes, themselves or have other people...family and friends do so and then place them in their store at 20%-40% mark up or higher! A month ago, I was in Walmart in Northwest Florida, around 6:30 am, and this guy came up and grabbed all twelve $45 blaster boxes of the Topps Chrome Baseball. Later, that morning, I walked into the first LCS via my GPS and guess who I saw at 10 am when the store opened? That's right, you get an "A" on this pop quiz! It was the same guy and those $45 blasters were now sitting behind his counter and on his shelf for $52.00! Plus, he had $25 Bowman Chrome U Blasters for $80.00. Yes, $80.00 freaking dollars! Why? Simply because of the potential of pulling Caitlin Clark, and Angel Reese cards. THIS rubs me the wrong way, because they are a business, they have the means to order directly, something we cannot. Plus, when they "scalp" up all the retail product from Walmart, Target, Academy Sports, Barnes and Noble, Books-A-Million and more, they are literally cornering the market(supply and demand)attempting to force locals in their area to have to buy from them, buy via the secondary market or simply do without. Personally, I see this as being dishonest and as soon as I recognized that the guy from Walmart was LCS owner, I didn't even look through his case, or go through his $1 boxes, I turned around and walked out of the store. If a LCS owner will "scalp" up all the retail product from local stores, you must ask yourselves, "What else are they doing?" More importantly, "What won't they do, to get a leg up?" Will they tell some kid, his $300 card is only worth $5 or $10? This is just my opinion, based on my values and morals.

I have been buying retail since the early 1990s... That being said, I only bought retail, mostly to get cards to fill in my sets. It was cheaper than the hobby, and until the 2000s, most did not have any auto's or game used in them. Todays retail is much different as you can pull big-time auto's, memorabilia and numbered cards... The problem is you have to hit the right name as most of these hit cards only sell for 5-10 dollars!!!! However, it's just gambling as the odds are probably better going to the casino or buying scratch off tickets. The great thing with the latter is that you get paid right away and good luck selling all those cards you pulled for .25 cents, 50 cents, and a dollar... Unless you own a store...

I work at Target and those Prizm Monopoly blaster boxes have been discontinued for months. You could maybe find some sitting on the shelves but be aware that people were opening them from the top and then returning them with opened packs inside. They still look brand new at a glance but at closer inspection, you will see they were opened. Guest services doesn’t inspect them properly and sports cards can’t be returned but the glitch in the system is that these come in as toys since it’s a board game, so people open them carefully, take the good cards out, and then return them.

Sports cards is a hobby and mainly for collectors the whole “profiting” is too make something back instead of just giving it away. If you go buy a box and resell then u just want money but also depending on how much of a difference what u bought compared to the resell price of a box is. Back in 2020 the market was jacked up and u could get 2x all the way to 100x money back because of the overprice inserts on the qbs cards

This might be a secret that no one knows, or maybe no one cares 😅, but i scour Walgreens shelves for heavily discounted old retail products. Most recently they had value pack hangers of 2022-23 donruss with the gren laser exclusive parallels for 5.99 a pack. Pulled a Chet holmgren rated rookie which paid for the pack alone. Also, bought 2021-2022 illusions basketball blasters for 15.99 and pulled a ja Morant ultra rare tough insert that paid for the box. Those type of purchases are a little easier to swallow when you are getting 80-90% ROI compared to full price of new product and maybe getting 50% ROI even if you hit something really nice. P.S. I've seen Walmart have these same discounted packs or blasters, but you gotta get there within the first couple of days of a restock cause it gets wiped out quick.

Oddly enough those baseball repacks can be pretty good. I got two packs of 2018 Topps Opening day and some 22 series 2 fat packs with some other halfway decent stuff.
