Target Online Sales Thread

I opened the first 4 and found that 1 or 2 cards per pack (so about 30% of all the cards I opened) had some black spots on the front of the card, which, in some instances, was from the back of the card in front of it, but not always. So basically, half of the cards in these 4 blasters were ruined, either the front, back, or both.

A few questions.

1. Is target going to do anything for me on the 4 boxes I opened (I know Topps won't)?
2. Is it even worth opening the rest of the boxes I have?
3. Has anyone else had this issue with blasters this year?

Thanks in advance.

A handful of cards in all of the blasters I ordered from target had bent/bad corners, but no printing spots or anything like that that I noticed...

Target is going to be even more of a mess, as it looks like Walmart finally increased blaster prices across the board

chronicles racing is $19.99 at target, $27.99 at walmart, same with Prestige

oof

I had the same issues with the blasters. Luckily it was only on the base cards, but still very annoying.

[QUOTE=Mikeeg85;17566702]I was picking up some household things at Target this morning and happen to see the Excell guy stocking Pokemon. I chatted him up and he said Target appears to be moving towards putting baseball back on the shelves in the near future (he didn't mention a timeline) but football and basketball we not even on the horizon due to the potential of continued confrontations.

Yeah, can't imagine Target would want to bring back Football or Basketball since there is still a huge feeding frenzy. But baseball is understandable since most of the stuff with the exception of maybe Bowman or Topps Chrome does not have quite the same amount of craziness.

I had one of my boxes have cards like that, but it was only the base RCs, which were always the last 1-2 cards in the pack. box wasn't damaged, and all the Prizms were fine. must be a production issue with a couple batches

So wtf, I got my order in from last week’s drop and it’s red ice instead of gold? This happen to anyone else?

Yep, mine say Red Ice as well on the Mega box. Someone else said before they got Gold Ice for last week's drop but don't think they responded to my post asking if the box said Red Ice on the front and they still had Gold Ice inside or if the box itself still had Gold Ice on the outside.

I’m too lazy to check previous pages of posts, but I see a few people talking about new MSRP’s. This is a Panini thing, effective for releases after 8/1, they are increasing MSRP’s across the board. Prizm/Optic/Select will be more expensive than some of the lower end releases.

I placed two separate orders between the two drops, I got one set of 3 Gold Ice, and 3 Red Ice.

Interesting, thanks. Sounds like people generally prefer the look of Gold Ice. I haven't busted anything to look at closely and haven't checked prices to see if there's a meaningful difference in prices. I wonder which version is rarer.

They need to start packing these items a lot better. I had a whole box of HHN last year where almost every single card was damaged.

pretty sure the image Target used last week was of a red ice mega, we discussed it a couple pages back.

didn't notice, just kinda click quickly and buy stuff. couldn't go back and check since they kill the product pages between drops. all good I guess, ripped one and got red ice of Trey, Wilson, Fields. the Fields looks nice with the jersey match, but of course the Trey would have looked nicer in gold.

so we're crossing fingers there's a drop tonight / tomorrow morning, maaaaybe some Select? I may have to set an alarm

you could probably check your order history if you really wanted to know… the gold ice came in a green box, red ice came in an orange box. first time i can recall one retailer having two different versions of a mega.

yeah everyone has been expecting select all week. i personally think it’s 50/50 whether it’s this week or next, but i’ll be checking tomorrow lol.

I had the same issue, and my boxes looked perfect from the outside.

they were completely different count boxes. i wouldn’t say they were the same. sure, they were both CALLED mega boxes. these are identical boxes save what parallels come in them.

Wally link shows $30: https://www.walmart.com/ip/2021-Topp...Pack/737519074

Just assuming that's not Wally doing their own markup above MSRP.

I answered my box said Gold Ice, but the receipt had Red Ice Sku
