To add to what I was saying earlier, I don't think LCS's should even be allowed to sell retail. Retail is not allowed to sell hobby. I think card manufacturer reps should make surprise visits. Those LCS's that sell unopened present year retail products for way beyond the retail store pricing model should face repercussions. The distributors that supply most of the card shops should as well. The same distributors that supply the LCS's, supply the retail stores. They are all in the racket together, card manufacturers, distributors and LCS's.
But Target outplayed them. They don't want the bullshit from it and I don't blame them. They will fill their shelf space in no time. Hopefully it will cost those manipulating the market millions in sales.

I'm onboard with every idea you're onto, but I've always been unclear about the difference between hobby and retail... hobby is now the $1000 full box at an actual card store?
But when I buy a mini box of Absolute packs at wally world for $20-30, thats not considered hobby? only dedicated card stores get the best product? Its always seemed a strange distinction IMO
Back in the old days, I clearly remember hobby shops carrying some of the same products you could find at the chain store... help me out here, I don't get it
