Congrats on the pick-up! You got them at a good price via eBay. If you want to save an additional 10-15% (for future reference), I recommend you considering to buy via FB groups.
Can you share these groups via pm?

Holy cow, congrats! And I thought I hit a lot before! I went on a good run today and didn't see a single thing. This stuff is impossible to find around me. Still have yet to see a single SKU of any Mosaic around me. Got a small amount of Bowman at least. For Mosaic, I'll just have to take my blasters and go home I guess.

Hey Guys --

After 2 weeks of visiting my local Walmarts and Targets (in Los Angeles), I finally have something to show for it.

Yesterday, I found 2 lonely Blasters at Target. I am convinced the person before me accidently dropped them running to the next Target on his list. This find gave me a little hope that dreams do come true.

Seeing the activity on the board this morning, decided to try my luck at some Walmarts.

Walked directly to the card aisle when I entered my second Walmart and absolutely no sports product on shelf. I did a little grocery shopping and came back and caught the rep stocking. Someone else showed up at the same time and was surprised I wanted Basketball too. Probably because I had a cart full of groceries.

He was taking on the phone with his buddy who was apparently at another Walmart. We just decided to split the product, but instead of dividing it up by item he grabbed a sealed display of Blasters and I got a sealed display of Hangers/Cellos. Then we just split the Megas.

To everyone still searching for product, i wish you the best.

Went out this morning to search, came up dry but saw the empty containers so knew they were out there (Central, NJ). Went out for another round after work and picked up a haul after striking out on the first two Wal Marts.

Ripped 1 mega, 1 blaster, 1 hanger, 2 cellos and pulled a bunch of Cam Reddish & a LeBron Silver. Got one of that Zion dude and Ja guy too.

Safe to say I'm a pretty big Cam Reddish fan now. The Peachtree Jersey RC is a silver also.

Well, went to Target with the GF and decided to ask customer service if excel has been in to restock or if any excel boxes arrived. He went to a storage room by the card section and pulled out an excel box. Opened it up, and what was on top took my breath away. Sealed mosaic cello box on top of Pokémon stuff. I said awesome that’s what I’ve been looking for. (In my head I’m thinking resell since sealed cello boxes get a premium) He says cool then proceeds to open up the box with his keys.... and says you can have two... after some persuading he gives me 5 then my gf 5 because I said she wanted some too (she didn’t). With two packs left in the box I try to persuade him but he says he’ll save for other people that have been calling in. In the end got 10 cello packs, not a lot after coming up empty handed the past couple weeks but it’s something at MSRP I’ll take!

Good you found some. It's surprising to see some stores starting to ration stuff out as pretty sure none of the Targets or Wallys around me do that. But, doesn't really matter as can't find anything in the wild around me these days anyways.

There’s a thread of people posting their breaks in here. I rallied some of the results on the second page.

As I said before ripping this stuff at MSRP is a no brainer.

It is great to watch my son rip through packs and find the big names he likes to watch on TV.

So much fun to rip!!

I will *probably* never sell sealed product on eBay

But on the other hand, I just packaged up like 100 Mosaic singles and I want to die

Ya, if towns are getting that much product, my town has back aisle dealings going on, cause not only am I not seeing that, I’m not even seeing evidence of it.

Congrats to those of you getting it.

Man I know it's newish and all but again if all these products were just released this year Mosaic is by far the best/most fun. I'd rank

1. Mosaic
2. Prizm
3. Optic

I’ll trade ya my stash for your stash. . Definitely just got lucky getting an early start home and caught a few reps putting them on the shelves as I walked up.

Rep: You’re not the regular guy who usually cleans me out”.

Lol...dude must have loved seeing the empty boxes when he showed up. Wish I stuck around to see the reaction.

I figure why try other local WalMarts or Targets with an animal on the loose.
Yeah I found 4 boxes last week at a target, but nada since
