I like how that one jackass hides his face. Of course he does. I’d love to see a video where somebody takes a blowtorch to one of those stashes.

Not that we expect anything to drop, but it looks like its a PS5 day.

PURE SPECULATION...I still think there's a small possibility we may see a 2nd drop this week, perhaps Friday? Just seems like another curveball they would like to throw at us.

Are PS5s still hard to find? Not into video games anymore so I have no idea.

True

I assume people have retweeted these and tagged target. Do they actually ever respond? I’ve stopped trying for retail so I’m not really all that concerned. Just wondering. I know they get paid, they couldn’t care less

What a shame that would be hahah

The weirdest thing is not the bot boys themselves, it’s the kids and sometimes grown men cheering them on and saying they’re jealous in a public forum. If one of my friends commented on one of those he would be laughed at by the group. “Friends don’t let friends bot or buy from bot boys!” Can we coin that term?

The feedback on some of these accounts. Weak.

On the bright side, I did get my 1 Fat Pack box of NBA Contenders yesterday that I ordered last Wed. As expected it didn't come sealed, but don't care since I'm ripping. Just have to wait until Father's Day.

I know it's not very good stuff, but ripping a box at SRP will make me happy!

Don’t get offended. You’ve actually done business here. Carry on.

Yeah but those are football and basketball where they have logos

Anyone think we’ll see a trading card offer on the Target app/website soon? I heard that with Prime Day coming up other retailers are supposedly going to have tons of sales and promos to combat that.

Highly doubtful.

Raleigh504 · 06-16-2021, 07:55 AM

So would it be better if they released/made in stock all the trading cards at once? Would the BOTs get less or would they get more?

Doubtful. They don't need to offer any incentive for cards to be purchased.

They would get more, but more people would be able to snag a box or two for themselves. It would still probably go pretty fast.

People have pointed to how long Bowman Megas have lasted when they do mass reloads. That is flawed because the Megas are fulfilled by a single vendor, and can historically only be bought at a single place (Target). Yes, I know about BN, but ignore that for now.

These football/basketball cards are dispersed across multiple vendors, and thus multiple outlets. You can buy them at Target, Walmart, Meijer, etc. Imagine if all of the NBA Prizm blasters/megas were taken off the shelf, consolidated to a single location, and then loaded online for the masses? It would be great, but unfortunately that is not going to happen.

Say what you will but these people are ruining the hobby for the rest of us. They don't care about collecting, all they want is a quick buck. Buying in hoards, they artificially drive up the cost of things. The mere fact that there are discord "buying groups" for retail product? I just can't.....Screw bot hosters.

Could someone please explain this to me?

I have a basic understanding of the bots.

My question is more about the people doing this. Are these pics just one guy who created or bought a bot's inventory? Is this is a group of 10-20 people working together?

I knew it was bad but I didn't realize it was this bad. I am content with the fact I can't open packs anymore and my collection is probably better because of it but that is insane!!!

These are separate posts from different bot users when they get their “cops” delivered. So you are essentially looking at single bot users with hundreds of boxes/packs of inventory they are getting from single online loads or reloads.

This is why it’s selling out in 15-30 seconds. You have thousands of bot users grabbing this amount of inventory automatically in less than a minutes time.
