How do you obtain your cards?

[Hawaiian Bam Bam]

just curious how most people acquire their cards? iby on ebay mostly, but after looking at how much i spend, i looked at how much i pay in shipping ($3.00 per card adds up quickly!) and was wondering if it would just be cheaper to trade and go to shows to avoif paying high shipping costs? your thoughts please.

I use ebay but only buy PC cards on there.

i spend from $0.99-$5.50 on each, just to make sure i have enough money for other cards i want

Mostly trading, with some Wal-Mart purchases.

I get the majority of my cards from trading and buying here on SCF.

The rest I get from ordering hobby boxes from online stores, Christmas/Birthday presents, and the occasional Wal-Mart blaster box.

Probably should have made it multiple choice

comparison shop, research, and then buy - mostly on ebay and sportlots
