I wouldn’t be looking for cards like that.”
I wasn’t looking either. But our local Hallmark put the cards right up front so you couldn’t miss them as soon as you walked in the door and included a sign stating “New Arrivals”. We lived in Kansas City years ago which is the home of Hallmark. Beautiful store there. Founders of Hallmark have to be turning over in their graves. I also will not spend $5.00 for a card from Hallmark when I can get one that works just as well at the Dollar Tree for $1 - but that is a separate issue.
These days supermarkets, drugstores and discount stores have greeting cards for far less than the Hallmark stores. The supermarket closest to me has a whole section of $1.00 cards. Last year, I bought some really beautiful boxed Christmas cards at the supermarket for a fraction of what Hallmark stores charge.
