It has probably been 2 months but I was able to get some packs from my local Walgreens. It is just strange as before you couldn't get ANYTHING from Walgreens, Wal-Mart, all of those places and then these just show up. Hopefully they aren't gone again a week or 2 as this might be the sign of them actually slowly coming back. But they did make it like 60 cards for $4 plus an assorted pack, (usually like the 2019 Opening Day,) and now the odds of a, "hit," (which now could mean anything,) are 1:8. I got 4 and did get a hit though. A /25 Josh Beckett bat card which is cool. 

I happened to be in our local Walgreens and found those same packs recently too... and pulled a deGrom relic /99! So there's magic in those little weird repack boxes sometimes.

My local Walmart where I get all of my current-era cards began restocking after about 18 months without cards. Since then I have found Prestige football and Topps Update, so I'm back on track.

But the time in limbo was TERRIBLE! I had to buy Score football online last year (luckily only for a couple bucks more than retail price), and found other stuff all over the place. I bought 2020 Series 1 in my local Walmart, but then they stopped stocking. I found Series 2 an hour away in South Charlotte, and Update in a nearby Target (but still farther than Walmart!). In 2021, I found Topps Series 1 in Columbus, GA while visiting family, Series 2 in Boone, NC while on a weekend hiking trip, and then Prestige and Update in my local Walmart once again. It has been a rollercoaster but hopefully consistency will prevail!
