Glad to know there are no safety concerns when buying Wackies.

There are stories that Walmart stopped stocking the trading card section as of last week. Just no signs.

Wow!  I just googled this, and can't believe some of what I read.  I gave a mint Charizard to my ex-boyfriend's nephew as a birthday present back in 1999 or 2000.  Took me weeks to find it for him.  Now it's a $300,000 card?!?    :o   I hope he still has it (preferably still in the top loader)!

I heard a news story on the radio about someone who pulled a gun on another guy at Target the other day here in Milwaukee. Before they mentioned why, I thought trading cards. Sure enough! I hope all Targets stop carrying these types of cards. It's affecting my toy collecting there. They limit now what collectors can buy.

I'm out of the loop, can someone point me to a link or summarize what's going on? Restricting trading cards?

In self-defense, after coming out of the store with their card purchase and was accosted by several people.

I hadn't heard about the problems either.  Most of the Targets (and even Walmarts) here don't have much
of a trading card display, and if they have a tiny section, it's in shambles.  The one Target that I've been
lucky enough to find some of the mini-Wackys, it's on a small aisle just near the music section, go figure.

I know what you mean; my local Super Walmart's trading card section has been a mess for a long time now. Fortunately, I can still get 9-card plastic pages from them, as I'm now down to my last two from the two packages I bought a long time ago.

I don't know the price; next time I go over there, I'll find out for you. Other than that, the only other place that would probably have them would be a comic book store.

I bought 9-card sheets from Target a few years ago, and I will never again. They are super thin and flimsy compared to the ones I get from my comic book shop.

I've been buying the 9-pocket card protectors from Amazon for years now.  I'm pretty sure they're the same as I bought from Target before because I initially searched for the same brand.  About $10 for 70 pages.  Here's the link if interested:

Only a few more minutes to pick up May.

And according to Topps, it now includes some April items. (Obviously it actually won’t)

I noticed that the main page still mentioned free shipping, which was not offered when you placed an order.

Perhaps Topps' association with Super Impulse has left them weak to the Dark Side influence of false claims and misrepresentative advertising.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I thought ViewBlaster was special when I drew it, too. Some of the classic Wackys are so iconic, that trying to reinterpret the product is daunting, but I felt this design was a worthy successor! - Pete

Gotta love the new pack! I worry that we'll run out of background colors though. What then? Plaid? Tie Dye?
