Ethical TCG is a live map of trading card stock at Target, Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy and H-E-B, powered by collectors who are actually there. Free to download and free to use. Every store shows one of three statuses: - Yet to be stocked — nothing on the shelf - Restocked — product is out and available - Vendor Spotted — a distributor is stocking shelves right now WHY YOU CAN TRUST IT Reports only count when the reporter is physically at the store, confirmed by GPS. Vendor Spotted reports require a live photo taken through the app, watermarked automatically. No camera roll uploads, no secondhand rumors. A vendor report goes up right away and the community votes on it. Five confirmations verify it. Five disputes take it down. Every store resets on Monday mornings, so nothing goes stale.
