Default Baseball cards at Costco?!?!?
I haven’t seen these for sale at Costco/wholesale retailers since the 90’s.

I just saw these in person this week - blisters packs of series 1, 2 and update with an oversized jumbo card.

Are we really getting back to the early 90’s in terms of production?

Has anyone tried these?

It looks like there are exclusive “Costco?” 5 card foil packs in addition to the flagship packs.

I wonder if you can get inserts in these?

That's awesome, I remember when my parents bought me a box of 93-94 Topps basketball from Costco.

Will Costco be prepared for a bunch of grown men (with occasional moms/grandmoms) gathered around the trading card section, fighting each other for 2023-24 Prizm BKB blaster and mega Costco-exclusive boxes?

At least there'll be easy access to "free" food and drinks.

It looks like 2 series 1, 2 series 2, 6 update, 1 jumbo series 2 card and three exclusive 5 card flagship collection packs, so 14 total.

Would be curious to see one of these ripped. Seems like a decent value depending on the exclusive packs.

$1.50 Hot Dog combo or rotisserie chicken parallel would sell well.

Hahaha! The chase will be the free Costco pizza redemption cards with pull odds of 1:12 boxes.

Would be pretty awesome if the Costco exclusives had a big KIRKLAND logo on the front, like those Prizm Monopoly cards that the basketball folks were all excited about.

Probably about to start getting junk mail order forms from Fanatics for cases of flagship... everything, once they have all the licenses.

People kept saying the hobby's dead but it's very much alive!!

Where will we find trading cards next? Restaurants! Mark my words!

Buffalo Wild Wings will offer an exclusive pack of Flagship for every 10-wing order.

I take this back. We'll definitely see them at Starbucks.

One free exclusive pack for every 1-lb whole/ground beans purchase.

Redemptions for free coffee as the chase hits too.
