hobby has certain cards you can hit that isnt in retail....hobby is def better then retail

on the same token retail has cards in it that hobby doesnt...certain topps chrome refractors come to mind cant remember the color i think it was blue lol but dont quote me

take ALL the cards to wal mart and complain. a white trash friend of mine used to take stuff (belts,dvd's,cd's) to wal mart he didnt even buy from wal mart and got replacements. they exchange anything. they are a bit more strict about it now but i would be surprised if they didnt replace it.

today i had a extra 40 bucks out my check. so i went to walmart to buy some packs. every time i go to walmart i always pull either a gu or some nice insert. and today there was something new in the shelf. they had a box with different packs in it, 16 to be exact for 20 bucks, ranging from panini classic,prestige to ud sp etc... anyways i thought it was a pretty good deal so i jump on it. so im pulling all kinds of good cards. so i start sorting them out but i take a closer look and i realize half of these cards got bent corners and creases on them. omg i was so furious. i cant beleive they would sell something like that. has this happened to anyone else? im wondering if i can take them back. and if you guys are wondering why i buy my packs at walmart is because they are so cheap compared to my card shop. the panini classic packs at walmart are three bucks and at the card shop they are 5 bucks. actually the panini box at my walmart is 20 bucks and at my card shop its 80 bucks. 80!!! yes its true. but whats your take on this? if this would of happened to you how would you react?

I haven't read any of the responses yet, just your post.

I hope you know there IS a HUGE difference between buying Retail and buying Hobby. You are buying two different products in some cases.

I wouldnt say card shops are going away because of Walmart, I would say they are fading away because they can't compete with the prices set by places like blowout and dave and adams.

And the fact that most LCS REFUSE to change with the times. How many shops do I have to go in to that are selling things for full book value or above it in some cases? Turns people away.

I only buy retail when the base non-auto RC card can go for some value. Like Topps Chrome, you can easily sell Durant RC. But for Panini product, RC card is auto card. And pulling an auto card in retail is nearly impossible.
