How To Find Wants from 1990's
I am looking for a few cards from 1993-94 and 1994-95 (which are listed in my signature). For those of you that collect cards from that era, I would like to know how you go about finding your wants. I search on E-bay, Beckett, COMC, Sportlots, etc., I have my wants in my signature, and I also have them listed in my inventory. I would like to know if there are any other places to search or "outside the box" ideas you have for locating these cards and other cards from this era. Thanks.

Check my inventory! Very easy to see what I have for a specific set if you just enter some search terms. I have about 5 monster boxes full of cards ranging from 1989-2005. I had my stuff sorted by team. So only have these ones done. Adding as much as I can daily if I have time. But these teams are complete.
I'd somewhat prefer to sell as it feeds my budget to buy new stuff. But may trade for the right stuff.

Thanks for the info. I will keep an eye on your inventory as you add Rangers cards. I have all of my wants listed in my inventory, so I can click the "Find all want list available in the inventories!" button periodically to see if you have added any cards I need.

Tried cruising through an LCS inventory? Probably help if they'd been around for a lengthy period of time.

Small stack of Islanders left, then it will be onto the Rangers. I'll try to let you know when I finish them then you can just search them all.

One of our great longtime SCF members might also be able to help. He's done every set and then some in the 90's.

Haven't seen Ed around for a long time however, don't know what he's up to, but if anybody has the most early to mid-90's cards in the World, it's him.

I will just offer up one extra piece of advice: Patience.
Cards like that do turn up. Maybe not too often - but they are out there. You'll find them if you look long enough.
One card (from 2007, not the 90s) I've been looking for all season finally showed up on eBay last week. Have not seen a copy of it between August and now.
For stuff from the 1990s - I built my Ranford PC using mostly eBay as the source, and sending want lists out to eBay dealers that would take them. Didn't join any forums like this one, until much later (though SCF, and other sites, have helped me grow it too!)
One guy I would recomend you get in touch with is 'Parallel Dave'. He's been a dealer on eBay for over 10 years, has a website here: http://www.paralleldave.ca/ and is also a member..... https://www.sportscardforum.com/member.php?u=56873
I have bought from him several times, including a few very large lots. Like any dealer - he may not have everything you're looking for, but I would bet he'll have some of them.
