Man...that's a steep price...but, with the chance for a CP3 RC, maybe that's why they mark it up - but, the CP3 RC is worth $25 (I have one)....so, that's not justified, or at least well.
I hate not having a shop near me - I can't get toploaders anywhere! The local discount store (Pamida) sells penny sleeves, but they are not a penny - 150 for $2. I love where I live, but not for sports cards. Plus, I'm the only person I know in my area who is really into cards....there are a few people who have a few hundred, but the cards are the highly overproduced late 80's baseball cards....ugh!
Sorry for the long post! It's just a little frustrating at times...lol...but, I am glad for you! :-)

Remember to support your local shop. I know that my local shop has a great card owner who is wonderful at product knowledge and sports knowledge in general. While he does a OK job with keeping fresh product, but there is no way that he can carry the seemingly endless number of sets coming out. I did away with my ebay account a long time ago, as I would met sooner have the interaction of an local shop, no shipping and HANDLING charges, plus the satisfaction of holding the cards to inspect first and then take imediate ownership. Sites like this where you can trade for things you open, but were not your player or team interest are great, but keep your local shop in business by doing business with your dealer.

that must suck not being able to get supplies. at least they have card sheets at places like target, walmart, modells etc. the penny sleeves at my shop are 50 cents for 100 i believe. so they are less than a penny.
also when this shop opens make sure you add it to our list at the top of this forum in the sticky thread :)

Lucky! Not one card shop in my town. I think there was one called "End Zone" that closed 5-10 years ago, before I started collecting.
