Cards becoming less and less at retail stores?

[ThoseBackPages]

yes, it sells very well

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

How? What age groug buys it anyway?

 

[TBTwinsFan]

Hit or miss.

I frequent 4 retail stores on a semi-regular basis looking for cards. 2 Wal-Marts, 1 K-Mart, and 1 ShopKo.

I would say it changes month to month, but each of them have pretty strong card isles quantity wise.

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Shopko seems to be the best for cards in my area

"that non-sports stuff" is way more popular then the sports stuff

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

The stuff I see is the Yo-G-O or whatever, the Pokeman, some kind of creepy bird thing, some band, and that Justin whatever cards

How is that stuff popular?

Because you have to catch them all!!!!! Understand?

 

[BiggioBrooks755]

Uhh no?

Is that the Pokeman thing?

The non sport stuff is what keeps some hobby shops afloat.

And will be more sought after... and probably more valuable than today's sport stuff 20-25 years from now.

Because I collect and watch sports only, not some odd animal thing

Today's sports stuff will be worthless 20-25 years from now lol

I'd make the opposite argument. Those things which are fondly remembered but not highly collected tend to hold the most value. If the majority of people buying cards are buying gaming cards, then their long term value is not likely to increase. If the minority buy baseball cards but the majority still remembers baseball cards fondly, then the value will skyrocket. The kicker is that we almost never know what that item will end up being.

Target has been the most well stocked around here. K mart has discount blasters occasionally but not much else.

That "Justin guy" or "Birbers or whatever" is the same guy whose poster hangs over your bed. Quit acting like you don't know who he is.

I get the general feeling you are either homeschooled (which is wrong, since you stated you were a Roncalli Jet), you are an idiot OR massively trolling.

If you are under the age of 25 (you are), spend plenty of time on the internet (which I am sure you do), there is NO fathomable way you can convince me you don't know what Yo-Gi-O (Yu-Gi-Oh), Justin whoever (Bieber) or some birds (Angry Birds) are.

Can you clarify: are you an idiot or a troll?

Idiot gets my vote.

I was trying to determine a good way to say this as I read through this thread, but you pretty much nailed it.

I tell ya, you'd have to be the friend of that spongy guy with the geometrically shaped pants to be loving in this world and not know who Justin Bieber is (aka living under a rock). The feigned idiocy is hilarious, unless it's real, then it's just sad.
