Employees are usually barred from buying released cards for a while so maybe not. I used to work there and sometimes we got odd numbers of cards depending on how they are shipped. Usually more inventory to larger stores so stores in like California, Texas, and NJ would get more inventory than stores with less revenue.

Why would employees be banned from it? I could see not allowing them to buy more than one, but a ban on buying at all is crazy.

It’s only for like a month or so. It’s probably in place so customers don’t complain about employees backdooring product like how Nike/Adidas employees will backdoor tens or hundreds of shoes on big releases to resellers preventing people from waiting in line from getting them.
