In my experience most cards can be had cheaper on Ebay than at shows. Im not above checking prices on my iPhone while im browsing for comparison. However, to me there is something special about finding a card your looking for at a show and ill gladly pay a little premium for that good feeling. Plus I get to use my son to help look. Got him trained to see the Red Borders. Just send him around the room and he will find all the good booths
