Official Retailers
-
Look for official Webkinz retailers in the United States and Canada. You can use the store locator feature on the Webkinz website for a nearby retailer. Call ahead before traveling to the store, as they could be sold out of cards.
Online Merchants
-
You can buy cards from online merchants such as Amazon. The advantage of buying through online merchants is the ability to purchase the Webkinz trading cards in booster boxes, which contain 36 booster packs in each box. Additionally, you can purchase earlier series of the trading cards, such as Series 1 & 2 cards.
Auction Sites
-
Auction sites, such as eBay, are other avenues for finding Webkinz cards. These sellers often sell specific cards individually than in a bundle. This can be helpful if you're looking for hard-to-find cards. If you are hunting for specific cards, finding them through auction sites is the ideal choice, as the official stores or online merchants won't open the box or booster packs.
Message Boards
-
Message boards from Webkinz fan sites are another source for finding trading cards. Typically, users advertise card sales through posts, indicating the series type, price and details of how to buy it. Be cautious when making a purchase. Unlike auction sites, you deal with the private seller directly without the insurance of a middle person to protect from scams.
Craigslist
-
You can post a free want ad under the collectibles section of Craigslist. Be aware that posting on Craigslist can lead to spam mails from people abusing their contacting privileges. If you are contacted by a private seller, there is no protection from fraudulent deals. Therefore, get as much information as possible about completing a proper transaction before committing to a sale.
