Does anyone know if this applies to sports cards in hobby shops and/ or on eBay?

Doesn't look like it.

I just looked at the list again and did not see any such category. https://www.canada.ca/en/department-...canadians.html

It's basically to help with families who spend monthly on food, clothing, games + books for the family. As for food it's snacks, drinks, sugary crap and restaurants since there already is no tax on actual food at a grocery store.

I do not eat such crap often. However I did have some books in my Amazon cart and waited a few days to pull the trigger, when I finally did the check-out the price did not go up and now I know why. Shipping was free and the tax was waived. Glad I waited to pull the trigger :) Saved about $17 I can now spend on cards!

Edit: It says games for children under 14. So... MTG, Pokemon and YuGiOh are tax free? lol

No but I ordered from 401 games yesterday and they gave a discount on the boxes equal to the taxes

I don’t think you can eat hockey cards.

Aren't hockey cards considered toys?

[Cunnuc]

I love 401 games. No tax? I'm down for some boxes until mid-February !
