Trading Tip Have fun. That's what trading is all about. I've made hundreds of trades and met some great people from all over the world. If I ever get a chance to travel, I hope to maybe put a face to some of these email addresses. I've been able to customize my collection more than I ever could have dreamed because of these people. - tip from www.tradercracks.com
Frequently Asked Question Different pricing for card boxes I saw a box in my local retail store for $29.99, why is my local shop charging me over $60 for the same box?
Before you think that your local shop owner is trying to give you a raw deal, please make sure that you are sure everything being offered within both boxes is the same. Manufacturers create many different box sizes with varying numbers of packs and contents within the same product line for different customer needs. That box for $29.99 likely has fewer packs and less value content within it. Don’t be afraid to ask your local shop dealer questions about the products and points of differentiation between the boxes. Most likely, they are not trying to give you a bad deal.
Glossary Term Paper stock - Generally, the thicker the paper that the cards are printed on, the more expensive the product is for collectors to purchase. Paper stock ranges are graded by points of thickness with most card companies using between 12-point up to 24-point stock. Sometimes, multiple sheets are laminated together to create thicker cards and a more premium feel.
