I still haven't figured out a sure way to find interesting chess cards. But when I got sniped out of an auction (I couldn't be home) for 6, I looked on "My ebay" for "something like that" (or words to that effect), and I found thousands of chess BOARDS> So I typed "German chess cards" in the upper left hand corner, and found ONE AUCTION, with the exact same cards I'd just been sniped out of. GOODY. The sniper is "tomguy_99@yahoo.com" and we've been jockying for cards. He collects HUNDREDS of game used bats (I can just imagine his room!). If he doesn't try to win this batch, too, I'll know he's collecting and not hoarding to sell, and I may email him.

I guess the more specific you are, the better results you'll get. The Germans make the best chess cards--in fact the guy who's selling the 6 I'm after IS German.
