Small-mart

I'm not sure how it works in other areas but where I live all the sports cards are handled by vendors independent of Wal-Mart. They're responsible for a region and the company ships the cards to Wal-Mart with the vendors being responsible for displaying them. They get a sheet each week showing what is coming in. I've been lucky enough to catch the local vendors for Wal-Mart and Target and put in a request for racing. They do their best to get what I request if it's available.

the targets by me are usually pretty stocked wal mart i'm not sure but lucky enough to have a 30 minute drive or less to 3 of each stores nearby. i rarely buy retail though, i know the hit ratio is a lot less and i've pulled some autos but can you get any decent patches from the wal mart blasters or no?

i have looked at a couple in columbus, ohio and they do not have any either and i spoke a manager and he said it is the luck of the truck. if the distribution centers sends it they get it if not they don't. they say it is farther up the chain and out of there hands as to which store gets what.

Once again, I called the DM for my store and I'm "supposed" to be getting some boxes coming in. The lady in the DM's office said she is going to have them held for me in the office. Of course it might be like the last time where they came in and got put right on the shelf.

Hopefully Brendan, there will be extras and you'll be able to get some. We still have to set up a time to meet to drop off your money for Element as well as pick up the Elements. Maybe, just maybe the 09 PP boxes will show up in the Walmart by then. I'll let you know if/when I hear something.
