Is anybody willing to share how they buy their cards?
I'm not in this to "make" money - just collect - but, it would be great to pay for it with what I buy and what I have left to sell/trade.
I always end up lopsided on my Set Booster boxes.  I tried a couple of collector boxes and really got screwed on those.
What does everybody on here do to buy up trade stock?  If you're willing to give out your secrets that is..... :-)

Hey all!  I'm pretty new to MTG all together.  I was looking for a collecting hobby and got hooked on this.  I love all things D&D and those are the sets I'm working on trying to complete - along with a couple of others that caught my eye.  I'm not into foils and am only trying to complete the standard editions.
I really enjoy looking for that card or two trade that brings me closer to finishing up an edition.  I also don't mind doing the larger quantity trade for smaller valued cards.
I have all but 3 tokens and I will complete my first edition - Dark Ascension!
I'm working hard at Adventures in the Forgotten Realms first and foremost - along with the commander editions for that.
I'm also working on New Capena / Brothers War / Phyrexia and other newer editions.
I've also been working on Innistrad, Avacyn Restored, and Shadows over Innistrad.
I plan on branching out more in the future as I get closer to completing the above editions.
I try to buy a set booster box or two every month to keep building up trade stock - but that doesn't always work either.  I have a lot of common/uncommon cards an about another 20,000 common/uncommon cards to filter through and file here on Deckbox.
So - that's me and MTG - hoping being on this forum will help out my collecting and hopefully I can help out others also!
