There is a serious problem with retail sports cards….. #irlpackopening #sportscards

A look at my local Walmart and the depressing state of retail sports cards.

Pay $35-60 to receive 10 cards worth a total of $4.27. That’s the card market these days.

[Rj.parrott]

That’s what happens when box prices 8-10x the value of the cards

[matttirado]

This is what happens when you only put the juiced stuff in breakers hands

[trey]

When you charge 34.99 for garbage product that’s what happens

[Thenightshowbreaks]

They need to go back to $20 a blaster and $25 for Prizm, optic, select and mosaic. $40 a blaster ain't gonna do it

[xftleec]

It’s not a complaint…it’s an observation that this junk is over priced and the people in at least his area have wised up that they are just burning money buying this crap and are staying away. Panini and Topps need to be humbled like this.

[thomaskelvey]

Cards are easier to get but they are over priced. You pay $30 for a blaster and don't even get a numbered card.

Guess this happens when over production kicks in. Panini’s greed is taking it’s toll on the hobby. Welcome to Junkwax 2.0

[papasitoz]

Doesn’t everyone want to spend $40 for $3 worth of commons?😂😂😂

[mightymitch]

Social media is the reason for this. It has completely destroyed the hobby. Let’s not forget that is what it is, a hobby.

[maxsanjuan]

That's at your Walmart and Target stores. In my area on the west coast, there's never anything! CONSIDER YOURSELF FORTUNATE!

[giga.bates_]

Nothing on the shelves, people are mad. Shelves are stocked, people are mad.

[nicholasmeadows]

It's the price and the fact the cards are half damaged when you get the cards

[briandunn]

People r tired of paying ridiculous prices for cards. Pannini got greedy and they screwed themselves

[ChrisTheElectrician]

That’s crazy, our Walmart gets cleared out every Friday

[MannyMopar]

You’re literally the only collector in your area

[JZF]

Bro I should show you MY Walmart… I PROMISE you it DOES NOT look like this, lol. Still barren as people pick up everything but basketball/football draft picks. Sometimes I can catch a restock and get something fun, but the main chase these days seems to be topps/bowman baseball products

[LetshavesomefunT.V]

Tired of buying retail 30 bucks....I pull a card it's worth 2 dollars no good card world is dying down

[BADGUYLIFE]

Inflation prices ruin this hobby, Plus The NFL, NBA, WWE Products have gone down in value since the pandemic died down

The problem is the rookie class in 2022 football and basketball stink. This isn't 2020 where you're going for Burrow or Herbert who wants to open up boxes when your best hit is Kenny Pickett.
