Let me be clear: i don't care if your job is "breaker", be happy with it. I don't think I could stomach that existence anymore than some other jobs that are more common. The amount of money made doesn't legitimize the job/action.
But back to my previous reply to you that I didn't get an answer: do you really not see products at stores? I'm curious what kind of collecting community you have around you.

Everyone just needs to find a job/career that they are happy with, regardless of what others think. Hopefully you’ve been able to do that!
I live in the central Florida area and I do not see any Topps baseball products at my local Targets. Maybe complete sets…? But I don’t really count those. I see some Panini junk, and I think I saw some soccer blasters last time I was there. The shelves aren’t completely bare, but there’s nothing good on them. As far as the collecting community, I can’t really say. There’s not too many stores around and there’s definitely no major card shows around here (that I know of). I’m probably not a good person to gauge the pulse of the area, since I’m very content to just buy singles on eBay. There’s definitely a much bigger comic book/Pokémon presence here, that’s for sure.
