Cards becoming less and less at retail stores?

[BiggioBrooks755]

Was at Target last week and went straight to the cards while my dad went to look for something...I looked through the "card" section and all they had was some boxes of 2012 Leaf Rookies and Stars Longevity boxes...some loose packs and a couple random blasters

Same thing at Wal Mart minus the Leaf R&S boxes...

Most of the section is gaming cards, music card of some band or whatever and that whatever his name is...Birbers or whatever

Is this a common theme? or just my area problem?

Depends on the company stocking them. We had that happen at Walmarts around here a few years back, but it picked back up.

The "card section" is sooo small they couldnt fit more in there anyway

For reasons other than cards as well

Just your neck of the woods. I have gone into a few wal-marts throughout my state and they typically have an entire aisle by the cashier devoted to it.

Sports cards or other junk?

It's "Panini Rookies & Stars", not Leaf.

Well, I knew it as Leaf when I collected them

It's pretty slim pickings in my area near Toronto too. Walmart stocks Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and a few different hockey products mostly. For baseball the often carry blasters, racks, and hanger boxes of the current Topps base. This year though I didn't see any Update. They sometimes have those Value Boxes but it's not a regular thing.

No shortage of stuff here in my area at Walmart or Target. Entire aisle of cards at both and fully stocked with quite a variety of products.

Considering its all the same XXXX with a different name, no wonder.

Does this isle have nice beaches too?

my target is hit or miss

They have ours completely stocked and I'd say it's about a 60/40 split with the 60% being sports.

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Does anyone even buy that other non sports stuff?
