The tyranny of distance is at play here.

There isn't a supplier of 102 cards in Australia as far as I can tell. Buying them from North America takes the price up to 9-10c each, and red boxes are too expensive to ship.

Does anyone know of a reliable reseller of used supplies that may have 102's available?

Cheers
Dave

re: Source for Used 102 Cards?

Its tough Dave, i recycle every `102 card i can..recently i was able to purchase a thousand large cards..i think they would be called 107s for 10 dollars...they are about 2 1/2 times the size of a 102 and not easy to store...but at least i can use them to send out stamps. I see where some people made their own with index cards and cellophane. It seems like a lot of work.

I recycle them as well. Nearly everything I buy from the US comes in 102's, so I suppose I should buy more stamps to get the 102's Big Grin

Perhaps you could swap with some of us and receive 102 cards in the bargain !

My closest source is about 100KM (66 miles) South of me in Barrie, Ontario. Even though it is not that far from me, I also recycle them whenever I can.

So that's why I have so many piled up 102's and glassines.

This is the challenge with paper. It is heavy, and therefore costs a lot to ship. A Scott volume, a box of 1000 102 cards, $15+ to Southern Ontario. Stamp album pages and binders even more!

It matters not whether you ship via Canada Post, Purolator, DHL, whatever; they are all about the same.

Unfortunately, we are a paper hobby.

That's probably why 102's have never really caught on here. There has to be an opening for a wholesaler (puts on thinking cap........)
