It would probably be a lot more on Ebay if I were really focused on collecting; right now it's primarily an impulse buy or three if I'm close to a shop or find something OK on the retail front.

I am addicted to the bay, but the Quartly CSA show here in DC is ok, so I do put out a few dollars to that each season when it comes to town, I think these figures would be slightly different if I lived in a Hockey town like Toronto, I would love to visit a show there. Who knows how much money I could spend???

6. Retail? 35%
7. Flea Market/Yard Sales? 15%

I threw in the flea market/yard sale listing as it did not seem to fit the other categories...I usually just pick up regular stuff when I can find it, regardless of the location and use the bay for specific items of a favorite player, type of card, etc...
