Anyway, I actually checked out in the card aisle and was stunned to see the "card" part of the aisle had been cut in half.
The panoramic picture looks a little odd, but that is one aisle. The part on the left with all the stuffed animals used to be the Pokemon or whatever cards. The part on the right used to be all sportscards. Granted a lot of that space used to be discounted blasters, but there hasn't been one of those at my Walmart in a long time. Now the sportscards part is literally about 12" wide. There are 3 rows up top for blasters (the one football blaster on the left is in the wrong spot), 3 pegs for hanging value packs and that little box that is three blasters wide on the shelf. The supplies on the bottom never get touched.
I guess I'll be shopping at Target more often. Orrrrrrrrr.....maybe this is a sign I should stop buying current stuff. (Like that's ever going to happen.)
My local Wal-Mart downsized on the card aisle as well. Less blasters and no repacks in sight
ReplyDeleteLast time I was at mine it looked about the same except there were no sports packs at all, just a couple of older (but not discounted) basters. It looks like yours had 9 pocket pages on the very bottom shelf but I haven't seen those at mine in at least two years.
ReplyDeleteMy local Target blows Walmart away with their selection.
ReplyDeleteMy Wal Mart is doing the same thing as well. Unfortunately there is no Target near me, so I am basically SOL. There is a Meijer fairly close so hopefully Topps will switch the blue border parallels to them next year.
ReplyDeleteDID I MENTION THAT MY WALMART HAD $2.98 OPENING DAY BLASTERS??????
ReplyDeleteSorry. I was getting depressed reading the comments.
I'd buy those too...if I could find them.
Deletethat's easily three times the size of the section here... consider yourselves lucky
ReplyDeleteYeah, that looks about like what I've been working with for years.
ReplyDeleteI think my Walmart is downsizing too. I was there last week looking for those Opening Day blasters that Night Owl keeps showing off and things looked bleak. I'm not stressing too much, since I'd rather go to Target any day of the week and their selection is way better than Walmarts.
