Have you seen baseball cards at your local retailer lately? The hobby has blown up which means that not only are cards confined to local specialty hobby shops, but they are at retailers across the nation. Some of those retailers like Walgreens, Meijer, and others even have exclusive cards put only in the packages they sell!
Or maybe thing back to the 90s and the valuable fad of Beanie Babies!
Anyway, I bring it up because while it might be obvious where you should be looking for Squishmallows, their popularity leads to a lot of out of stock dead ends.
So, it’s time to get creative, branch out, and think of different places and ways to obtain a Squishmallow that might not have otherwise crossed your mind. (And if you stop here if you still need to figure which Squishmallow you should get.)
