Great cards at a great price.
Honestly, the biggest reason I’m happy to have them on hand is if I ever have a player who’s uncomfortable playing with all my other cards - exotic brands he’s never heard of.
totally worth $5. no doubtThanks for the info, picked one up just now. Debating if I want to buy the other two.![]()
Definitely. I buy these when they're on sale for my Tuesday night group - otherwise the host gets paper Bikes.totally worth $5. no doubt
Who brought the new guy?Ah, I already left and its 30 minutes away. Had to go to 2 stores. I'm just getting into starting games and just bought two other decks on Amazon, don't want to overload with decks.

This is always frustrating because inventory counts are often wrong. The store nearest me always shows stock and never had any. I think somebody stole 4 decks years ago and it’s never been corrected.Check the website to see if they have any in your area, the site quantities are accurate.

PCFers, clearing the shelves from coast to coast! Nice.Tks for the tip!!! Older versions but not China Last two in Salem Oregon View attachment 510488
Yep, I prefer the striped version as well. I think it looks a lot better than the rider back version.Anyone else prefer the 2018 back? I generally hate racing stripes, but f'n love that design.

That’s really surprising that the stores are so different in their pricing. There was one Walgreens that I went to that had no clearance sign but the deck still rang up at half price. It doesn’t make much sense.Wish I read your post closer before my hunt. The first 3 stores I went to were sold out. Then finally tracked some down on the website at 2 other stores. The first:

WTF?!
Talked to the store manager and even showed her the receipt from the other store to see if she would honor the price. She said different Walgreens could have different prices and they were $8.29. Since you can get them at Amazon for that...I had to leave 6 packs of rider backs sitting lonely on the shelf.
Thanks again to @Meddler2 for the tip!

Edit: just realized there may be something to be done, but will require a bit of running around. This might work:
You buy a deck or decks for $8.29.
You go to another Walgreens (that had them for $5.49) and make a return.
Buy them back immediately, and they ring up....for $5.49.
But are clearance items final sale? Dunno.
My first thought when I read the price was different was “are they franchised?”...but quickly dismissed the idea. Yep, very surprised!Yeah...I was surprised at the price difference too. I was especially surprised that they wouldn't honor the other store's price. But I just figured out why they didn't...Walgreen's is a franchise.Who would of thunk?
Unfortunately buying & returning is more trouble then it's worth. Will probably just check back in from time to time. Can't see them flying off the shelves at $8.29, and since they are on clearance they'll have to reduce the prices on them sooner or later to clear them out.![]()
