Question: If you had to guess, approximately what percentage of Magic cards sold in the United States are sold at big box retailers (i.e. Target, Amazon, Wal Mart, Barnes and Noble, Gamestop)?
I'm curious about how many cards are sold in local gaming stores and card shops compared to large retailers. I am aware that many members of the enfranchised community shop and visit LGS's regularly but considering there are millions and millions of Magic players, a good chunk of them must be buying cards from other sources.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
