As trading among fellow bloggers has dwindled, I've had to get a little creative. I can't afford to buy all the cards I want, although I do buy plenty, so I still rely on trading. Trading also diversifies my collection. I can't be aware of everything that's out there, and since everyone is different, they often will find things that interest me that I would never think to get myself.

And I've relied on readers and, in this particular case, a fellow blogger's collecting buddy. Stuart, who runs around card shops with the operator of The Collective Mind , has corresponded with me through email a few times, and he's been an occasional commenter. We've just started a trading connection that I hope will last for awhile, although Stuart's wants are, shall I say, challenging. Yet that's canceled...
