I like buying (in person). I try to stay away from ebay but besides card shows, flea markets what do you all do to find deals?

What is your favorite place to find cards?

In my mailbox via a PIF.

LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good point. I was meaning besides TCDB ofc

My LCS, COMC, Sportlots (although I'm becoming disillusioned with them), Goodwill

Most of what I acquire are through a local guy I have been buying from for a couple years and local auctions.

On tcdb, comc and ebay

I mostly buy from my LCS.  There is a coupla of other card stores in my area that I may visit maybe twice a year.  I also like card shows, missed the big Pittsburgh show this year but sometimes there are a few nice little shows at some local malls.  I also like buying on Upper Deck e-pack and COMC.  I used to buy stuff on ebay but I have gotten away from that because some of the stuff I got there recently just wasn't in great shape when it arrived.  I very rarely buy retail at a Wal-Mart or Target.

• Trades: here (of course!)
• Cheap but useful trade bait and the occasional single for myself: monthly show
• The occasional bigger single for myself (usually something of an uncommon PC player or a rare card) or someone I'm trading with: eBay
• Set-fillers and low-end base: Sportlots
• Slightly better singles for myself and others: COMC (only when they're running sales and/or offer free shipping)
