hehe... quit collecting MtG cards after Mirrodin. all newer cards I find and get are for the collection of my children. All old design cards ( upto4 a piece) are in the Netherlands, the rest in Estonia.
but I can relate to your dilemma.
he cheapest way is online ( per message) or...... the flat images of the vessels from topside miniatures .
persuading my sons to play the games starting to repaint sister ships bought book to support the repainting still fruitlessly looking for Fletchers, WdW's ( for Admiralty V and W classes), and various other miniatures to fill class limits still finding a way to get Shapeways minis ordered ( since my shipping address is undeliverable for the shipping co. )
