I would add a few comments about being "nice" and asking for a nearly
70% mark-up in the same breath, but this is not the forum.

As to the issue of *access* to supplies, well, we are all right now on
the best forum available to have access to almost anything in the WORLD.
Use it.

The most economical way to get packs is to buy boxes of booster packs. I
know some of you cannot afford the initial expense, but I am pretty sure
there are some trustworthy people on this list who would be willing to
*split* a box.

Depending on your vendor, the prices can range. The following website is
one of the better ones for very fair pricing:

http://www.allstartradingcards.com

This is just one of several sites on the internet that have SRTCG for
sale. Please check around and perform searches *before* you actually
make any purchases. Although it is a fun game, in some areas it may not
do as well. Vendors will sometimes clear their inventories at discounted
prices.

These are just my opinions, send your flames privately, and I will deal
with each of them in turn.

Thank you,

Walter
