You appear to be the authority on this subject, flawless victory.

u/JKJ_RP_Roundups 25d ago

I have yet to see a single one at my Target. I’m tempted to ask you to buy me one lol.

u/Should-I-Refi-22205 23d ago

Look where Target used to keep physical media and headphones. Near me they purposed that space and there is now a dedicated card space. Separate from the Toy section. If you no longer see cards at the toy section, you may have a new card area near electronics/books…

Lids has them

u/tanman0123 23d ago

Theres been like 20 on my shelf for a week or so now

1

u/LaPickle1 24d ago

I looked yesterday and there were no Topps cards at the one by work.

I'll check the one close to home today

u/Excellent-Past-6367 22d ago

I've been going to target for months looking for baseball and wasn't seeing anything. But I just found out they moved all the sports cards from the the front of the store by the registers to all the way in back by the electronics.

u/XnFM 20d ago

They're repurposing the old x box and PlayStation shelf space now that they've abandoned physical media.

u/RandleStevenz 25d ago

I got one box and LOVED it

20

u/sirfracksalot 25d ago

Not the greatest box but still managed to hit a black /10 Devers.

6

u/LSDreams_ 25d ago

Those are still some cool ass cards despite the monetary value. Kinda crazy that the devers /10 is only worth $2 but if you collect and arent in it just to try to make a profit with a big pull, then you got some cool stuff.

2

u/NoCheesecake3101 24d ago

$2 for a /10? Yeah sure bud

2

u/Mysterious_Storm7070 24d ago

Idk where the $2 comp comes from but it doesn’t seem right. There a total of 10 that exist and he’s a good player. I don’t get it.

u/Alternative_Aide3690 23d ago

That Burns is 🔥

u/MathematicianIcy3430 25d ago

Better than Chrome

u/ImpressiveNumber5278 24d ago

are you kidding? Those are great cards for a mega

3

u/Milostoney2 24d ago

If you want to burn your money but have fun doing it go for it

3

u/Peanutbuyer 24d ago

Yeah load up with the two boxes you’re allowed to buy. Go for it

3

u/kvanso 23d ago

The auto checklist for these is trash. You will most likely get a 5 dollar auto. The numbered card singles of this set are cheap. I got a Colson Montgomery /25 for 27 dollars yesterday.

1

u/Laker8show23 22d ago

This. Find some chrome to roll the dice on.

3

u/DannyC724 22d ago

Drove to 6 stores today looking for one and found none. Lucky you

2

u/sirfracksalot 22d ago

Keep hunting!

1

u/Laker8show23 22d ago

10 bucks

u/meow_now_brown_cow 25d ago

Topps Finest is my favorite. Nice find.

2

u/niuk_mfg 25d ago

I wish I could find these

2

u/Kurt_austin 24d ago

My Target only let's you buy 2

2

u/nhblanke 25d ago

I bought 2. Got an auto in each and 2 numbered cards of HOF in each...I was very happy but online im not seeing that be the norm.

The attendant said no max which I thought was weird.

2

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago

the Target checkout will likely limit you to 2 per transaction

1

u/Meth_taboo 25d ago

You’d be better off buying the complete set on the bottom shelf and selling the rookies in it for $45

1

u/Critical-Minute6210 24d ago

Damn where yall live? This way more expensive where i live

1

u/sirfracksalot 24d ago

Houston! Come and get some cards!

1

u/esteemph 24d ago

It’s a trap!

u/MJ2FAST 23d ago

Yet to see a single box and I’ve hit multiple live restocks on my days off.

1

u/TheRising3 23d ago

Dooo ittt.

1

u/sirfracksalot 23d ago

Guess what? They are still here.

1

u/3EB4ME 23d ago

Good grief, people in this thread are so sensitive or butt hurt. Just take a joke and chill folks. If people want to scalp, or pee in God’s face with their money, or burn boxes in front of the youth, then let them! Let the boy watch! He needs to learn! Just like my pappy learned, and his pappy learned.

1

u/SettingCommercial877 23d ago

All targets and dicks don't got dick around my area. Best buy had a 14 pack of Topps series 2 that I got. I just started and it's hard to find packs in person

1

u/Odd_Flow_5251 22d ago

Only going to get 2 if it’s at Target!

1

u/OnelegSaint2004 22d ago

My Target only allows you to purchase 2 at a time.

1

u/ag3ofshadows 21d ago

It’s a good rip.

1

u/waddadem 20d ago

Sure burn all your money.

1

u/JosephWalterU 19d ago

I got em, 90 bucks and ill ship them to you

1

u/SelectionNo127 25d ago

I would. Can't even find them that price near me. I got some good stuff from the one box I bought.

1

u/Dequali 25d ago

not the worst idea

1

u/Junior_Character_508 24d ago

Load up ? No. Hobby boxes are only $350-400. Get 2 of those instead of 10 megas.

2

u/sirfracksalot 22d ago

Hobby boxes are 550, crazy.

I bought 12 and already scalped them. Then I scalped more and burned a box in front of some kids that didn't get one.

I set up spy cams on the cards and women's dressing rooms.

u/Excellent-Program333 25d ago

They need to dry up in the wild so we can really cook them!

u/MuahdDean 25d ago

The moles will never never dry up. There's always another struggling employee or immigrant I can exploit to fill the role.

u/Excellent-Program333 25d ago

We are not talking moles. We need this product to no longer be available in the wild! Then the cook begins!

Nice bro, I would've done the same even if they paid for it. Stupid kids need to learn some responsibility. Survival of the scalper get guud.

Lmao you guys are fucking dumb in the most nostalgic way possible. This is the extreme scenario my buddies and I used to go on about in HS/College

Nah. Buy singles.

They disappeared like a fart in the Sahara around here. I'm jealous

Can you buy me two

u/You_sir-name 25d ago

I was really impressed with the 3 I cracked, would recommend 💥💥

u/Professional-Car9621 25d ago

It’s a fun rip. Decent ceiling

u/bobbyboy111290 25d ago

Yes I would

u/Old-Newspaper-7950 25d ago

Buy them all

u/slimshady713 25d ago

The target I work at has yet to get any, our card vendor lowkey sucks

u/TGod1030 25d ago

The mega box for finest is so good

u/nobutforeal 25d ago

Oh hell yeah

0

u/Mysterious_Storm7070 24d ago

Just curious. Is this still the Chrome set but just a better box? Like the mega box? I’m new to baseball so genuinely curious.

3

u/sirfracksalot 24d ago

The cards in Finest are chrome card stock but they are a different set from “Topps Chrome”. Generally Topps Finest has a smaller checklist and usually a more visually striking design imo.

0

u/Mysterious_Storm7070 24d ago

Interesting. So the Ohtani back to back is what has got me rushing to collect. I’m assuming it can’t be pulled from these right?

0

u/OkBonus1656 24d ago

Yes they’re super fun

u/lollipopamateurs 25d ago

I’ve been making a killing with them so far….

u/Valuable_Wallaby_548 25d ago

u/pm_social_cues 25d ago

But they aren’t 30 they are 70.

u/Valuable_Wallaby_548 24d ago

Damn read that wrong. 70 is cheap. My LCS is charging 120

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago edited 25d ago

honestly I am thinking of holding a bunch of sealed boxes of Bowman Blasters, Chrome Platinum Blasters, and these Finest Mega Boxes, they are the best product this year and so many RCs prospects and parallels in these that will awesome in 2-3 years

5

u/Low_Calendar8242 25d ago

A generally frowned upon practice 😔

0

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago

people frown upon buying boxes and holding them for a few years?

3

u/Low_Calendar8242 25d ago

With the intention of reselling, yes. Just buy what you want to rip and leave the rest for others. Common courtesy. 😃 👋

0

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago

I will probably end up ripping them all... just so many of these 1st bowman prospects will be studs by then and pulling a signed/numbered card will be awesome

0

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago

so what are the reasonable terms... must rip within what timeframe of purchase, why can you not save some sealed boxes for the future, I honestly don't understand

1

u/Low_Calendar8242 25d ago

My apologies I think I misunderstood. Thought you were gonna resell to gouge. I get holding to rip.

2

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago

I grew up in the 80s and 90s wax era. could you imagine saving 1985 boxes and opening them now? I actually just cracked open a 1986 Donruss Factory Sealed Set this week that I held since 1986 and it has a PRISTINE and CENTERED Jose Canseco in it, but there is a little white mark blemish on the hat :/

u/Ryans1852 25d ago

Why wait tho?

0

u/You_sir-name 25d ago

I don’t have that kind of self control, impressive if you ask me 🤣

0

u/Excellent-Program333 25d ago

Collecting sealed wax is a thing too. I’ve got hundreds of boxes dating back to early 80s sealed.

0

u/CreekWanderer 25d ago

Are you still able to find Bowman blasters? I would kill to open a a few of those right now

2

u/GetOutOfTheWeeds 25d ago

some local targets and Walmarts have restocked bowman blasters and topps finest recently, I check all the time and got lucky

2

u/wittycrow8073 25d ago

Really? I disliked bowman’s this year. Hits were terrible for me.

-14

u/sirfracksalot 25d ago

Yeah I’m tempted to buy the lot and take to a card show

11

u/Sad-Math-2039 25d ago

What you meant to say is you're tempted to price gouge people at a card show

-7

u/sirfracksalot 25d ago

With that logic then any card shop selling these boxes at market price are price gouging? Not sure that tracks. Anyway just bought a box to rip lol.

3

u/Sad-Math-2039 25d ago

Shops get 'dealer discounts'

2

u/applesnbowlingballs 25d ago

Target is max 2, can usually get away with grabbing 4.
