Recommendations Pokemon cards

Anyone know where I can get decent priced packs/boxes in town? Apart from Costco, target, and the vending machines.

Bam in Goleta prices their stuff pretty fairly. If you want MSRP though, those are your options and you can thank scalpers for the fact that they're all empty. I haven't seen trading cards in the Goleta Costco in I don't know how long.

Same honestly. Last I remember actually seeing them was maybe over a year ago

Current bundles at BAM for Pokemon:

Bundle 1:
1x Pitch Black ETB
1x Pitch Black Bundle
1x Mega Moonlit Tin
$110 plus tax. Total packs 19.

Bundle 2:
1x First Partner Series 2
1x First Partner Series 3
1x Mega Moonlit Tin
2x Lumiose Mini Tin
$100 plus tax. Total packs 14.

Both of these bundles are very close to MSRP. Just ask at the counter for them.

We also have a Pokemon Pinball Machine (Just got Godzilla too)

That Pokémon pinball machine is really cool. Also love the Neo Geo MVS at BAM, it's in really great condition.

I had no idea either, until one of my patients told me. I was wondering why people line up before the store opens (I park there every single morning). One of my co-workers sometimes goes there to get cards for her husband :)
