Me? Nothing. I'm not a baseball guy. Had there been anything basketball - even packs of stickers - I would have bought some just for the sake of opening something.

So, what did you get?

I was in a local Walmart today for the first time since the provincial ban on the sale of "non-essentials" was lifted last Friday. There was a ton of baseball products on the shelves, probably more than I have ever seen in a Walmart store before. I'm not really familiar with all of these but I believe I saw various packs and/or boxes of Topps Series 2, Opening Day, Heritage (2020 and 2021), Bowman, Donruss, and Diamond Kings. There was a limited selection of hockey (Parkhurst, Upper Deck Series 1 or 2, a "Rookie Class" boxed set, and Topps Stickers), and even a tiny bit of football (Score, I think) and soccer (Topps). But no basketball.

I never saw the local Wally's so stocked in sport cards (not just hockey, but hockey, baseball, basketball and football).

I was just at a Target in Belton Missouri on Sunday and they had 2023 Topps baseball, 2022 Score Football, 2022 Panini Absolute Football and quite a number of hockey cards. Their shelves were very full.

Wal-Mart in our area has been pretty full almost constantly. I'm trying to keep myself from buying new overpriced crap which is everything on the shelf. I bought a score I guess I will call it a fat pack several weeks ago and it was $16 for what should have been a $4 pack in my mind. They can keep their product at those prices.

I spend a lot on cards. I referee basketball on the weekends to support my hobby for the most part. I am a truck driver and most Wal Marts I stop by are full with cards. I have a fear that Wal Mart could get out of selling, because what I see now is, they have way more product than is moving off the shelf. I prefer Wal Mart because I can buy more often and rip packs.

I may be mistaken but I think Wal-Mart rents the space for their cards out to an outside party that stocks the shelves. In my mind what I see at Wal-Mart is closer to the pre-COVID normal. I still haven't seen the return of the box of marked down items that aren't moving. This is probably a sign that those handling cards are still moving product and making money.
