I buy a lot from Paul at the battersbox. The cards are sometimes a bit optomistically graded but the selection is good and service is great. They ship within 24 hours of your order.

I've bought a lot from Marty's cards too. Also great customer service. I also really like Brian at Scottsdale cards.

Another consideration that most U.S. collectors likely don't have to consider much, unlike me, is the cost of shipping. When I am looking for cards, I have come across, countless times, cards that I am interested in that are reasonably/fairly priced or in an auction, but when I see the crazy shipping fees, I walk away.
Also, sellers like PWCC and Probstein with their own shipping fees outside of global shipping are also crazy. With both, I see $35 (PWCC) and $25 from Probstein which are both in U.S. dollars. Not that I would ever purchase anything from PWCC again, but this is what us CDN's come across that likely most Americans don't? If I am not mistaken, most see $5.00 dollars U.S. and I see $40-$45 plus CDN from them. With Global I see anywhere from $16 dollars to well over a $100 at times, then throw in import fees if applicable, which most times they are with Global shipping, and the fees become more than the actually card(s)!

Battersbox is my favorite. It's like a well-oiled machine that cranks out sharp, affordable commons all day long. I sometimes buy from Triple Play Vintage, but I'm OK with trimmed cards as long as I don't have to pay too much for them.

I won't buy from Burbank Sports Cards because I once asked for a scan of a card I wanted to buy, and was told they were too busy to meet my request.

I 100% agree that Battersbox, Mantlerulz, Greg Morris and Scottsdale are great choices. I would add Baseball Card Exchange to the list. They have an eBay account (bbcexchange3) that is dedicated to raw vintage cards. I have had great luck using them and their grading is spot-on.

I see Baseball Card Exchange has a brick of eight unopened 1952 Topps wax packs for sale, for $570,000. Anyone want to go halves with me?

If he still sells online, (I can't find what I thought was his ebay ID...) I would be remiss in not recommending my old LCS owner, Chandy Greenholdt here in Winston-Salem, NC. Chandy is very well known in the region and owned a card shop for more than 25 years before having to close maybe 10-15 years ago.

I believe Chandy's ebay ID is chandyg6p81 .

Cool thanks. Chandy and I go back only about 20 years, but shortly after meeting him I realized we went to the same college, and he had grown up with my Mom.

Chandy always sets up at the Chantilly (VA) Shows. The next Show is October 23-25.

I remember buying from Chandy on ebay years back and getting some cool oddball stuff, often at some really good prices. I think most of what he does now is BIN though. I may not always get a bargain or even win what I bid on, but the hunt for them is part of the fun. I do use BIN for things now and again, but still prefer the old auction game of chance.
