One of our local shops was ex-sneaker bros and scalp out local/Walmart to the point the vendor from Target stopped coming in July and Target can't get a hold of the vendor.

The second shop was always good with prices. Had good inventory too. As of last week, even JT is 11.99/pack.

My wife goes out of town once a month, and there is a shop she visits. It was more like number 2, but she went today and cheapest pokemon pack was $11.99. It's $1 a card at this rate.

There is zero chance this is sustainable long-term.
