With the high costs of shipping, supplies, combined with odds of finding cards you that need available for trade...is it worth sinking money into trade bait? Or is it easier just buying the cards you need?
There is a poll question, but I'd also like to read what you have to say. It'll be interesting to see if the set builders, prospectors, and player collectors have different views on this matter.
The reason I posted is because after making some big trades towards the end of last year my trade box is currently down to the dregs. I don't bust any wax, and with all my recent buys being PC/singles I haven't picked any new trade bait. I usually spend $5-10 in the dime/quarter boxes to replete my trade box but lately I have been questioning whether it is worth it. Besides the Yankees Topps issues, most of my wants are very specific comprising of tougher O'Neill/RC issues so I feel that I end up purchasing them anyways.
