Since Jay and myself frequent the same store --- I can add some more depth to his comments
In Al's defense -- he does have a TON of singles from 1981-present available for collectors and those boxes get visited on a regular basis. It's not his biggest seller but he does very well with them. And there are many collectors who do base cards and frequent those boxes
However, the bulk of his money and his collector interest comes from the newest packs and boxes. If there is a decent product, go into his store on Wednesday evening about 6 PM and ask him how many cases/boxes he blew through of the new product.
Jay: I think you would have just as much fun opening "retail blaster" boxes of a product you like.
Just MOO
Rich
