One huge benefit of a show is the ability to buy multiple cards at one time. Most dealers, if you buy more than one card, WILL provide a discount. eBay isn't set up for that. Pricing becomes more in line with online when quantity becomes part of the equation. I find it much more fulfilling to knock numerous cards off a list at one time or buy a few things that catch my eye at one really terrific show than buy from 14 different sellers on eBay over a period of days, weeks or months just to save a few bucks.
