The blasters are dropping today, already down to 69.00

Redbirdgrad · 09-22-2020, 05:37 PM

They're lower than that... keep looking.

And then don't buy.

They'll be in the 40s next week. Dont pay week 1 prices, ever.

I think of it as a part of the gig economy, not issues, freedom. Personally, I'd rather pay 1.5x MSRP in a couple weeks then wait around, but its a part of the card economy, so probably necessary. Without these folks, we wouldn't have the fine product selection on ebay at 1.5 and 2x MSRP.

Is this stuff gonna be hot?

Should I take my lawn chair to the card aisle? Will managers have issues with that?

nera20 · 09-22-2020, 06:52 PM

They draw the line at camo video recorders you tie around a tree when you hunt. Something about privacy or some nonsense lol

I found 6 blasters today as well. It was all that was in the excell box, and nobody was there that I had to split with. I’m wondering if megas/hangers/more blasters are being delivered to targets later this week or if this initial mosaic stock is just smaller and more product is coming next week. We shall see

Thought they must have known the rep was coming. I had to go to work so I left.

Swung back by at lunch 4 hours later and they were still there with another person! Holy #@#@#@#@ some people have hella patience and time

UPDATE! Went back to same Target today at lunch. One of the guys still there in the cards aisle!

He’s now put in at least 6-8 hours waiting there to maybe get some cards. Unreal!

Might even catch COVID while he's at it. Is it worth it? I think not.

Yet to see anyone with this at WM. I know most WMs get their MJ deliveries on Wednesday, but not looking great for this week.

My friend sent me a pic from a discord he is in showing someone with a opened case (20) of blasters that he scooped from Walmart today. It had the white Panini sticker that is found on all of their cases.

Awesome news. Hoping to score some tomorrow but no Targets in my area. Collected football when we were younger, but stuck to baseball and basketball since getting back in. Excited to start opening some football and building that part of my collection.

Does anyone on these boards, who is above 25 actually wait at Target (or wherever) for shipments to come in?

That seems crazy to me. I have to work. Right? or no?

Wait like 8 hours like the guy mentioned above? No. I don't even understand how anyone rationalizes that. By time you wait, list, sell, ship, etc your hourly is pretty much garbage. However, I have a rough idea of when 4-5 locations stock and will wait an hour or so if I think it's worth it depending on what is coming out. That's about to come to an end for me though. I've been fortunate in a collecting sense and unfortunate in a career sense to have had the Bar Exam pushed back to early October (traditionally happens late July) and that has freed up quite a bit of time for me recently.

blackbears86 · 09-23-2020, 01:13 PM

when chronicles was coming out, I waited about 20 minutes with 3 other guys for the excel rep to show up, finally I thought to myself "I'm done with this"

Now, I don't wait, I don't make special trips. If it's there when I go, fine, if not, that's fine too.

49erRCCollector · 09-23-2020, 01:17 PM

Full disclosure - i'm 46 with a family and a demanding, long-time, full time job.

Checking eBay or action houses? Sure. Ordering online? OK. Waiting at Target to stalk some rep? BIG NO. I'd feel ashamed doing that.

What you experienced is called having self-respect.

Yea I’m guessing once megaboxes get out in full the blasters will settle in on EBay for a decent price.

packfan15412 · 09-23-2020, 02:45 PM

one thing ive learned... ride the wave on the way down... I fully expect prices to crash once they flood the market!

The flip side of that is the card you pull will also have crashed at that point..
