As some of you know, I am teaching an all boys gender-grouped class (3rd grade). I am fortunate that ALL of them are very interested in sports, which is going to make it easy on me to create games/projects that enhance their learning. I plan to use the backs of baseball/football/basketball cards to teach several aspects in math and social studies. I would LOVE to pick up a few late 80's/early 90's wax boxes so that the boys can have a pack of cards as a positive behavior incentive each week. My question:
Does anyone know (other than eBay) where I can find some cheap boxes from this period? They aren't that expensive on ebay, but after shipping is factored in - I am looking at spending around $.50 per pack in most cases. In general, that is well worth some good behavior, but as much as I have already spent in my classroom - I'd love to get some boxes (36 packs) at around $10 per box. Is this wishful thinking, or does anyone have any ideas.
I will also be willing to trade for some if anyone has some to deal. (and I'll add some $$$ to help wih shipping costs).

I have 17 students, so I pretty much will run through a box in 2 weeks. Thus, I am looking to get them as cheap as possible.
