How did you acquire your star cards?

So, I check ebay often, and if something pops up that's too great to pass on, I jump on it!

I haven't been to a card show since the early '90s.

Is this what someone should expect at the National too? Have been thinking of going this year

I think the last one I heard of in Eastern Washington (State) was in 2005. I then moved to an even smaller town that doesn't even have an LCS. But we do have a Magic the Gathering shop!

My 3 top star cards in Mantle, Mays and Robinson were given to me by my Father over 30 yrs ago.
I've purchased many cards since 2016 but none compare to those 3, imo.
