As a card collector there are a few routes we can take to pick up new cards. With the pandemic those options have been slightly reduced, but as a mainstay of the hobby eBay has been one of the main options for most of us for almost two decades. I took a hiatus on eBay, both buying and selling for over a year, but just dipped my toes back in about a month ago selling a couple cards of some current hot players to turn those cards into cards I wanted. For me the biggest hurdle about diving back into eBay was the rise in shipping costs. As a seller I know how much a parcel is going to cost, so selling lower value cards really isn't an option for me anymore and the $4+ price tag for shipping on a lot of cards has really made picking up these lower value card less appealing as well. But there are a few sellers that have embraced using the PWE (plain white envelope). So if you're willing to take the risk of this cheaper shipping option it's not a bad way to go.
So the first card I picked up on eBay in over a year was this 2020 Topps 1985 Black parallel. I've since picked up a nice handful of new Yount via eBay, one I'm really excited about that will hopefully be here by the end of the week. But with a little patience I've been able to pick up some nice additions.
