    Local Card Shop

    Went to the card shop today just to pick up a few things and a couple packs of cards.Well the guy tells me that he doesnt sell packs anymore except for the CHEAP STUFF like Topps and upperdeck b/c people where trying to pick the hot packs out so from now on hes only selling boxes.I was pissed been going there for years and now he wants to just change the rules.So I didnt buy anything.I didnt have $110.00 for a box of Hot Prospects.Just want 4 packs.I just was mad that the guy wont sell packs anymore so now I have to find a new shop that will.just had to blow some steam off.Anybody elses shops just sell boxes???

    i had gone to a shop for a while where the owner would let his "good customers" sit there and pick through packs....example(2007 spx baseball...one of his "good customers" would come in almost everyday pick out a fresh box and take the patch out of the box every time)......so i never really used to buy packs from him unless they were from fresh boxes
