Re: To eBay or not to eBay?

I always reckon e bay is for "chancers" Delcampe for "collectors" (incidentally make sure you get into "International" loads more stuff on there, I have had few problems dealing with Europe)

Re: Fairs or online

I think you shouldn't rule out any way of buying (unless you have not got a computer!) certainly support fairs and don't rule out junk shops etc, I found some interesting cards the other day! But I look on line most evenings, dunno what for, I can't afford all I might want, but you never know what y...
