The best places are:
1. General Merchandise stores - Target & WAl-Mart etc.
2. ebay - save on shipping and group items together
3. Graphic Designer / Magic Houses - big places like HOPC. Ellusionist, CARC, Kings Wild etc
4. Periodically check kickstarter - always a good place
I have a bunch of great tips and link in my video: WHERE TO BUY CARDS

Don't forget about your
fellow UC members! Especially if they have a
good track record.
Also, for #3, many of these places have coupon code options to save a percentage off. A few members here have a referral code, there's also good old google search to find one if needed.

Don't forget
- estate sales (especially late in the afternoon, prices drop and deals get better)
- garage sales
- thrift stores (Goodwill, ARC, SAvers, Salvation Army) ARC has 50% off every Saturday all price tags colors except one color)

Interested to know more on how this is possible. In fact, I was wondering if there was an official thread or location on this forum where the latest kickerstarter campaigns are listed?

Here's the forum where they all get posted:

You can also search "playing cards" on Kickstarter and sort by newest.

When I started collecting I found Penguin fantastic because free shipping is a big deal for international customers
https://www.penguinmagic.com/tricks/tag ... ying-cards
and Vanishing now offers free shipping too
https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/playing-cards/
If you are placing large orders, most suppliers will wave shipping

Honeybee and co.,
I want to thank you for recommending Penguin Magic. I ordered 6 decks from these guys 20 days ago. I left a message on the checkout screen telling them thank you for providing free postage, and a shout out to United Cardists forums for recommending their shop.
They responded with a Gif video of two of the guys holding a personal message saying 'Thanks for your order, Stefan', and they posted the decks a day later.
They mentioned that packages can take up to 6 weeks or so to be delivered. My order came today, 20 days later. On my birthday, of all coincidences!
Suffice to say that I'm over the moon. The 6 decks were a trial. I'm already looking to make a second order with them.
