2021 Topps Update blaster recap

I finally got my hands on some 2021 Topps Update and while it may not be a big deal, I feel like retail offerings are still trickier to find in-person - one of the stops tagging along with my mother running errands was at a Barnes and Noble book store where I've heard of accounts where they've sold cards in the past year [i.e. 2021 Bowman Mega Boxes].

On the other hand I don't know if each store just put the cards out in the shelves and I've never seen them [not that I go to bookstores much at all in the here and now] - what happened however, was when I was waiting in line to make a purchase, I saw someone approach the counter and ask the sales associate for trading cards.

I couldn't believe my eyes when the person dug out some blasters for the person look at - when I finally had a chance, I followed suit to ask for some cards myself and ended up with this blaster, along with two $10 hanger boxes.

It's kind of a minor miracle but I guess it happens where I get an opportunity to find cards when I'm not really expecting to - at my local Target, I did find some loose hanger boxes, so I grabbed a couple more in the wild.
