I just want to say that you are the champ for admitting this.

Its not really a question about "outhustling" anyone. Its about paying the vendor who restocks the items to get them to give you the time he/she will be there, then buying everything they have so it can be re-sold on ebay for double the price.

If you are tired of retial cards not being in the store month after month, file complaints at all targets and walmarts and let them know this is happening. At the target close to me, the manager told me that the vendore doesnt even put the cards on the shelves. She has a line of 10+ people and they just buy the boxes in bulk,

2020 Prestige Retail which is supposed to be selling at Target and Walmart is selling for 2x the amount on ebay.

I am not sure we read the same post. I put the entire 2012 contenders football set together-I didn’t put sh$t on ebay and paid nobody anything. I bought some one a coffee. You project a d-bag vibe.

Also-I guess your the retail white knight.

I went to distributor site-see what it took to get an account. Basically register a company-get a tax number—but it says it can not guatentee new product to new customers.

There is no way you'd be able to get new products if you are a new account. You would of had to of spent thousands each week in order to get 1-2 boxes.

It varies a lot but lately most Panini Retail has been around 1 week after Hobby. A few things have come out before Hobby in the past.

At least some formats of Donruss will be live this week.

It is valuable input because what you said is false, many retail products hit the stores before hobby comes out

Maybe if they stock before they are supposed to. Distributors ship for retailers to have in hand 2 weeks after hobby release.

Was donruss FB out before hobby? How about chronicles BKB? Topps chrome BB? 0/3

One rep told me they stock every Tuesday except special releases on Fridays.

But each store is different. It can be Wednesdays for a different location.
Never allowed to stock it even one day early or get in big trouble.

The only product to potentially be 2 weeks after hobby is Donruss, all other retail in the last 6 months have been before or same week.

Walmart gets their MJ Holding boxes on WED, vendors can come anytime from THURS-SAT.

Dave and Adams has boxes for $690.

Still horrible but a better price then here.

Go get them if you want them.

I love this forum, but the blowout company isn’t probably getting any money from me in the future with shadyness of the prices.
