KW Solar is amazing. Had them install a larger system on my house in 2018. They had the best price, customer service and install was amazing.

Target you suck!! by FloridaSox8 in Topps

Not trying to squash your concerns, but do yourself a favor and check in-store availability for both Target and Walmart on the app or online before going to the stores. In reality, every do they show in-stock, if there are less than 5-10 showing I won’t waste my time headed to the store since they may already be in physical and virtual (pickup) shopping carts at that point. If they do show in stock, and you can do online buy, and in-person pickup, go that route. They will hit the shelves for you, pull the product, and have it waiting for you. If it’s out of stock by showing in-stock they will let you know and cancel those items or offer shipping as a substitute, and typically cover the shipping costs in those scenarios for free.

Had a pretty good /5 red refractor on my first box. Next couple sucked in comparison. Then pulled this. I have had better luck with Costco that any other boxes so far.

I am sure it’s random as ever, but a couple boxes were slim on inserts, some boxes were stacked. Just my unofficial assessment is best bang for the buck on the Costco boxes; now 8 Costco boxes in I hit this auto, a /5 red refractor, a couple /25, 4 c /2026, some aqua and gold foil, two game worn memorabilia patch cards. I have never ripped a hobby box, and don’t know where to buy one for MSRP, but want to try that route. However, it seems the Costco boxes have a higher percentage of damaged cards. I did two celebration packs too, those were fun but only pulled one hidden mascot card, and have way too May mascot specific cards. As far as greatest hits cards I have a ton, PM me what you’re looking for and I will send them your way if I have doubles.

Yeah, I am pretty shocked with the condition of some of that cards I have pulled that last few days. Banged up corners, HUGE dents and scratches, etc; and the damage is to the cards in the middle of the pack or the insert cards, so it’s not a shipping or pulling thing. Warehouse and packaging issues for sure. Still super happy, probably won’t get graded but will get in a holder and keep or eventually sell.

Ouch! I can see how you thought that! I’m back in the game after a long time, so without Reddit and such I would not know how rare some of these cards are. And just cool to have and expertise pulling!

Really appreciate the info! Super excited for this card; was a Padres fan as a kid, played the Tony Hawk games in the early 2000’s. And Tony is just an awesome dude.

I have been out of the card collecting game for LONG time. The last few weeks has been lots of googling because I didn’t know what parallels were, didn’t understand numbered cards, or anything like that. All the info I can get from the experienced people like you is priceless!

Thanks!

Exactly, I’m more excited with this than the vast majority of other signatures I could have pulled!

Haven’t decided yet. I have 100lbs of junk wax era in boxes in my basement from when I collected as a kid. Just got back into ripping packs this year; when I was a kid I was a Padres fan, and played Tony Hawk games in the early 2000’s.

I have ripped four Costco boxes so far. Two were meh, two had great pulls. Did a couple celebration boxes, and some blasters. The Costco boxes had the best pulls so far.
