Does WalMart Still Sell Sports Cards?

[steve B]

The Wal-Mart near me has a card section, but it's mostly empty boxes.

The Target used to have a good selection, but reduced it a couple years ago.
This year they were selling so much they actually had Topps team sets - from 2016. My guess is that Topps doesn't have anything in the back corners of the warehouse anymore.

So far this year I have seen 2021 Topps baseball at Scheels Sporting Goods, Barnes & Noble, and even Cracker Barrel restaurants. Check those places out. The flippers haven't discovered them yet.

show up early and see if you can beat all the guys trying to flip them for more money.

The Targets and Walmarts near me have had plenty of baseball. It's the basketball and football that has been super in demand. I've just laughed at the grown men desperate to grab hold of all of that. Some of them have scooped up baseball but they can't make the margins on it that they can on the basketball and football.

Topps 1 was sitting, not very much, on the shelf at the Walmart I usually go to.

I suspect wait a few weeks and when people realize Heritage retail is not that easy to flip then you will see them on the shelves at Wally World, Target, etc.

I will also note that some of the big box stores may no longer carry cards because of the aggravations of the people gathering to buy those blaster boxes.

I would expect a lot of the stuff that doesn't sell to be returned and to end up back on the shelf.

This year is the worst, can't buy a single 2021 product anywhere for the retail price. SMH..

Just last week I found a shelf full of boxes and hangers in Walmart and in Target. Same week. I've seem lots of 2021 Flagship product since it came out.
