Some things to say here:
First, i'll try to get the Guardian Dracoform ad card myself, and would
probaly still be bidding if the post office tax (fee?) for international
money order would not have been so high, it's the only one i need to have a
full set and it is unaivaible in Belgium (i will probably post a big trade
offer for it soon)
second, we are still far away of the price of certain M:TG cards (nearly
300$ for a piece of paper with "Black Lotus" writen on it, that's outrageous!)
Last, well you could buy a box of booster and don't have any of the cards
you are looking for, and as some of them are very hard to find on trade
(skwaaaaark!,.....) so it is somewhat normal people who are looking for them
since a long time pay a high price.(I just hope this will not give people a
false idea of card's value.)
