Your not gonna find any retail anywhere.

If you do, buy all of it. I'm not joking.

There's reddits dedicated to assholes who buy up entire retail stock then post pictures of it online.

When the new Bowman baseball came out, there's some 16 year old Yankee in it, they never made it to the shelves. Ppl were masquerading as the guys who put out the inventory, getting the stock, and walking right up to the register and buying all of it. Bowman has a "paper" version, and a "Chrome" version. The paper is more plentiful and they were selling secondary for up to 50 bucks. The Chrome double that.

Prizm mosaic football just came out this week retail and I snagged everything that was at the Walmart only because I got lucky and the guy was putting it out when I went in to take a shit (taco bell)

yep. It’s impossible. There are discord’s with people telling what time and where there are restocks. Plus thebots online.

sneaker heads got into it too cause they saw they can flip and make money on them. They are legit camping out in Walmart’s and targets for them.

trust me. I’d def buy them all if I got lucky lol. But I’m not spending 60 on resale market for them.

It used to piss me off when people would by the entire display of hot product. Now? Not really because if you don't do it then next guy will.

I was thinking about starting a sports card thread here and if there's actual product on shelves in retail those of us here can hide it and post it up so we keep it only to members here.??

Two Boxes of mosaic football behind the fresh scent tampons at the Arlington heights Meijer.

Hey, it might work....

Because honestly, I do feel like an asshole buying displays and I'm more about sharing the love instead of keeping it to myself.

Well, except basketball. But my kids love basketball and collect basketball.

I pulled a Coby White base Prizm Rookie and was stoked I actually pulled one. My oldest pulled a Zion Silver Prizm Rookie out of a blaster, posted a pic on insta and had every moron DM'ing him to the point he had to shut his DM's off.

Go ahead and do it! I'd post.

If you have any retail boxes laying around you might want to get rid of... DM me lol

I was told by the head of the volunteers who work in the Veterans ADMINISTRATION that they don't have room enough for anymore of the walking sticks and canes for the disabled that I make right now because they can't get them to the veterans who need them because of the Covid. But while talking to a lady volunteer she told me she was a Gold Star family member who lost a son about 3 years ago in Afghanistan so after listening to her about her son I'm making one for her to memorialize her son while on her hikes or walks. I'll be done next week. A nice one takes about a week to a week and a half to make.

I think that I'm going to talk to her about other relatives of military who lost someone in the war who they'd like to have the same thing done for them as well as talk to people at the local VFW or American Legion post out here. Any other places that anyone can think of that I might look into?

I only know that because there's a game called Rocksmith that has that cord. It's like guitar hero but you plug in your actual guitar and play along.

Ended up buying this game and it came in today. Insanely fast shipping. Excellent for a beginner like me. Fun stuff, sometimes frustrating. Only thing to me is the songs kind of suck. There's a few good ones that I personally enjoy, but the stuff I want to play is going to cost extra as add-ons. Guessing that's not by accident.

You could skip the worthless VA middleman and ask around any vfw halls or find some veteran groups on social media

Please explain what a WORTHLESS VA MIDDLEMAN is.
This should be good.

Do you guys like hunting? Is it interesting activity? My friend want me to try this with him:) Maybe some of you had such experience. I read about modern equipment like for example night vision binoculars agmglobalvision.com/night-vision/night-vision-binoculars and it is quite interesting for me. Characteristics and possibilities are really cool!
