I don't have a WM/Target story like the ones in this thread but I do have a related story. Back in 2005, I was doing some contract work at an AutoZone store. The boss dropped me off and went to another location nearby. While I was getting our money for the job and waiting on the boss to come back, I saw an open box of packs of 2003 Press Pass Eclipse NASCAR cards. The price said something like $3/pack. Since they were 2 years old, I asked the cashier if that was right. I wanted to buy them but not for that price b/c of the age. She scanned one and it said 1 PENNY! I bought all 18 packs for 20 cents. Book value was something like $350 for all of the cards. That purchase re-ignited my interest in NASCAR cards (was only doing MLB/NFL back then). I was watching the races back then but not collecting the cards. NASCAR has been my top choice for unopened packs/boxes for the past several years now.
NEVER in my life had I ever bought more than one pack of cards for $1 and received change back! I'll never forget that purchase.
NO PWE's EVER!!! PLZ PM me 1st before sending any offer. ONLY selling cards as of March 2024. No trades or purchases right now.
