Ebay, the National, major auctions and here. I would note that it appears that auction houses are trumping the National for the better cards, which is somewhat of a shame to me as it takes away some of the thrill of the hunt.

May your collecting be joyful,

Larry

A large majority of mine are from eBay, some from online dealers directly and a small number here.

Default N54, of course!

I buy almost everything here. I don't have the patience for Ebay, searching through crap, and dealing with BINs and Offers that are twice what they should be. I live in Denver, and since there are no shows, I just hang out here on N54 and wait for something to come along.

Sadly no more LOTG since I'm not allowed to bid.

Quite a few of what I would consider my "better" cards are direct purchases from people here or non-54 friends. Most of the rest are from ebay or (in the case of non-sports) a foreign auction site. A relatively low percentage from AHs; I almost always get outbid even when I bid strong.

COMC, then Wal*Mart (retail packs), then Blowout breaks, then eBay, then auctionhouses, then Net54.

Breaking is a great way to go broke. Just stay away.

Same here. I prefer transactions with hobby friends I've dealt with before, most of which I've been introduced to through net54, or through another collector I've met here. But I've also bought from Ebay, most auction houses, and occasionally in person at a show.
