Start here: http://www.TheLasombra.com/cardtrader.htm The most popular and inexpensive online sellers are listed, as well as links to sites that sell individual cards. Traditionally, Potomac Distribution and All Star Trading Cards have had the best prices in the US. Walch & Nusser www.vtes.de have the best prices in Europe.

I thought Potomac was good, but according to this post (http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=8081248&postcount=33) there are better deals to be had on eBay. But thanks, I'll take a look at those two stores and pick the better deal.

I don't know enough to buy singles. Thanks for the reply, 'twas a big help. -Rob

They have a very active group, and a free commons box in the store that you could root through for a set of stuff to get your going without spending any money. The Boston VTES crowd has a yahoo group, where gaming nights are sorted out (there's talk of shifting the Monday night schedule onto Sundays for the two upcoming holiday weekends, since both Mondays are holidays); http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/vtesboston/ Hope to see you there some day (I travel up to Boston on occasion from CT) DaveZ

If you're after something fairly quickly, it may well not turn up on there. If you're looking to buy something whenever it turns up and that could be now or in six months, you may well get a good deal eventually. Also: standard warnings about unscrupulous dealers on Ebay. Though 99% of the time you'll do fine, be careful etc. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.

I don't know who this person is who posted this but I believe he is full of the stuff you find on the floors of stables and on the ground out in the cattle pastures. I don't know what would cause someone to type anything like that. I've been buying boxes of cards for many years and I also frequent EBAY for singles quite often. Granted, it is true that I don't specifically shop for boxes of unopened cards on EBAY and so I might miss certain things but I see enough to get a pretty good idea of what's out there. EBAY suppliers do not match Potomac prices nor any of the other best sources, like The Lasombra's or All Star Trading Cards. I don't believe they can. I don't believe you could run a business that way, buying at wholesale prices and then dumping on EBAY. I suppose it's possible that from time to time, someone will need to dump some excess supply of something below cost. The original print run, Jyhad, was so overprinted that you could find fantastic, below original cost deals in all sorts of places, EBAY included. (One of my friends told me he got something like 11 boxes of Jyhad boosters for $50 from a hobby store.) But if you're looking for a specific print run, you're likely wasting your time looking for cards cheaper than the online mail order dealers like Potomac. Fred

As a public service announcement to anyone who is paying attention? Really. Come here for information on VTES. Or the White Wolf BBS. Stay away from bgg or rpgnet in regards to VTES. Those folks are on the crack. > (One of my friends told me he got > something like 11 boxes of Jyhad boosters for $50 from a hobby store.) Dude! You weren't on board with the Potomac $3.00 a box sale back in the day? 13 punds of VTES showed up on my doorstep! -Peter

Those folks are on the crack. Don't know about rpgnet, but BGG is OK. I'm one of "those folk". And I'm not on crack.
