Hey Pojo, please post this under the trading card strageties section under the subject Paying too much for cards.
 
I have been hearing a lot of people talking about how pokemon boosters are going for 7-10 dollars or more each.  Well ever look at a price guide. In the basic set  The rare is from 5-7 dollard and holofoils from 15-50 dolars uncommons for 2 dolars each and commons 1 dollar each. That comes to anywhere 10-60 dollars so your not really being ripped off. Try looking on the internet instead of card stores, I have found sites that sell american boosteers for 2.99 and all 6 japenese boosters for 5 dollars each and japense boosaters especially conserding fossil and team rocket go for 15-20 dollars. You just have to patient and find them cheaper. If you buy them for 7-10 dollars each you are crazy. Some where on this site there is link to this site I don't remember it right now but it has a blastoise with a booster pack next to it and meowth too.
