Right now, where do you buy the majority of your cards?

[Johnny630]

Most of the cards I have in my pc have either been found or bought in person networking over the years with private collectors, it’s been a fun journey.

The next would be the occasional auction house or BST rarely eBay or Facebook.

For me, it used to be eBay, but now it's AHs.

I am kinda shocked Ebay is still at the top.

[ullmandds]

I'm not most love the convenience and buyer protection/friendliness of Ebay.

To be fair, I spend more at Auction Houses, but buy more actual cards from Ebay.

That's a good point about measurement. The OP seems to focus on sheer number, not necessarily the total value.

Part of the fun for me that makes eBay the leader for me over the last couple of years with pricing up so much for vintage is that I've been a bit focused on more modern cards from some of my childhood heroes from 1980 to 2010. Most of them sell (even in high grades) for $50 or less. And you don't find many (any) of those cards at the major AHs or Net54.

And I've never joined Fakebook, so that's off the table for me. I might be the last internet-connected human on the planet still outside of that elite club, but I'm pretty determined to keep it that way.

Living on the west coast, and not in LA, card shows are also virtually nonexistent, unless I want to fly back east to attend one.

Make that two humans! I'm not a Facebook user either.

Yeah, I never signed up for Facebook either. Not a fan.

No, you're not the last person. Never been on Facebook either, nor Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or any of those type of sites/apps.

No social media for me either, @BobC.

1) Net54 75% So many great people so why go someplace else.
2) eBay 23.5% I buy most of my bats there and oddball items
3) COMC 1% Used to be my favorite site. Beyond horrible search engine plus crazy prices have kept me away for a few years now.
4) AHs .5% Just something I have rarely used.

Why?

EBay has dried up considerably for much of the stuff I look for. I suspect the $600 reporting thing has a lot to do with it.
