Depends on the set and costs of shipping individual cards.
If I'm building a modern set I would rather buy in bulk at a show than piece out each card and pay $3 shipping per card for 10 cards or more.
Trading cuts down on the costs if I find another collector working on the same set.
Of course the same can be said for a vintage set I'm building. I usually buy heavy at the National than buy individually on the internet. Cuts down on "lost package percentage" as well.
I like the thrill of the chase, but it all depends on the set itself.
