View Full Version : Need common cards, but popular online stores have no stock to speak of.

Is there any place besides Card-Haus that sells OCG commons? Their stock is pretty much wiped out at the moment. I need some specific cards, like Terraforming, Metamorphosis, Dark Dragon Hatcling and Level Limit. You see, my booster boxes screwed me out of a lot of key cards.
Ironic. I can get any rare i want, but commons are practically non-existant. More proof that YGO!'s second-hand market is corrupt as hell. It's not shiny, so it must not be worth selling! :mad:

Checked all 450 OCG entries. The only decent find was a complete set of Volume 1-7 + vending cards for around $200. Nothing i'm looking for.

The best way to get all the commons you need from booster sets is to buy a box every set,since 401 I've bought 1-2 boxes so I always have plenty of the commons as like you said there harder to get than the foils X D .However if you bought a box and didn't get a particular common for some reason...well I guess try asking around the trade forum?
I personally want commons from BE1,BE2,EE1 and EE2 and as buying boxes of them is twice as much and there just reprint sets I never bothered buying them,however its proving near impossible finding single common cards of them...I'm actually tempted to buy a few packs just to try and get the commons I need.

I'm actually in the same boat you are... I want a few commons from the original volume series, but I don't want to go searching through tons of packs just to obtain a few cards, especially considering the rarity of the packs, and the cost...

That's entirely the problem. My SoD box had didn't have any Dark Dragon Hatchlings. And my EE1 box had no Terraformings or Metamorphosis. I guess my last resort is to buy more Force of Dragon decks and an entire booster box of New Ruler? :( Which is a waste of money due to the fact that I bought half of New Ruler as singles and already own said structure deck. :mad:
Watch. I guarantee I won't pull a single Level Limit from EE2.
Trade forum, eh? I might check it out. I got a spare Exodia head that might make for some decent bait.
I'm also in the need of a few commons, plus a rare or 2
it's soo hard to find a DL5 Spear Dragon, or even a BE2 one :|

It wasn't $200, was it? I checked yesterday and it was about $15 with $38 shipping.
EDIT: Holy crap, I went and checked it. That's not US$255. That's 255 POUNDS (around $500).
For those who want to see, look here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60241&item=6168097375&rd=1)

It was 200 US when I checked it. It's not surprising it nearly tripled in a day. Not to mention I probably tipped off a few people here that want it.
I don't really like volume cards, since their authenticity always comes in to question when I duel the ignorant. No holo box and all.

Lol I knew the seller selling that and I was tempted to bid on it myself though I have most of the volume and booster cards anyway.
Its a shame the shop here doesn't have a online site as it sells commons and rares up to 309 very cheap for under 10p each,I guess I could check to see if they do have a online store...

There are 2 Level Limits in the Scorched Earth Structure Deck.

Shows how much I pay attention to spoilers! Unfortunately, I didn't need them when that particular deck was released. Thank you for reminding me. That'll be my first item in the shopping cart next stop at Ideal. :D
I decided to make use of my custom title. Oddly enough, I didn't even think of the contrast to "Rare Hunter" when I typed it in. Even better.

Sorry Astrael but this is nothing to do with your question but I thought it was sort of revevant. In the volume series images on Ebay just past half way down, in between lightening rod and fake trap is that the original art for trap hole? And near the bottom, is that the dub fusion?
OliverPhoenix

Nope that trap is Call from the darkness which unfortuantely I own,spoilers thanks to Edos=
CALL FROM THE DARKNESS
Type: Trap Card Effect: All Monsters that were play by [Raise Dead] are placed in their Cemeteries. While this card is on the Field, [Raise Dead] cannot be played.
Also I'm not sure what card you think is the Dubbed Raise dead but to put it simple there is only the original Raise dead in Volume 2.

Sorry I meant dub fusion (Polymerisation)
You see near the bottom, with all the counter traps. It's on the left of God's declaration. To think I thought the dub had just pulled that art out of their butts.

That is indeed, the anime Fusion. I thought that was the original art and that we have an alternate art, but my friend insists that the LOB version of Fusion was the original art and the Volume Series Fusion was an alternate.
Ryusaki

I wonder why the dub used that art instead of the LOB one. And why did a card like Call From The Darkness need alternate art?
OliverPhoenix

Ah fusion that makes sense,It was released in volume 6 and the other Fusion was released in the original starter pack first so it is indeed a alternate art version rather than original.
