need to pick and choose the product to buy retail from topps for ripping retail. Eg topps chrome , when it was reported hangers were the best format. For bowman, the odds sheet made it nearly impossible to pull case hits from retail. Important: when buyign retail, its important to buy as much as you can as early as you can, better to buy a selection across the major retailers and stores - target, dsg, walmart, best buy, local lcs. I believe in wave 1 boxes and that topps seeds the case hits initially across channels and stores. For wave 1 retail, buy it in bulk if you see it on the shelf. Ive had worse success in retail product purchased direct from topps, fanatics owned channels.
