Match Attax Cards?

Hi
My DS has been collecting the above cards, but it's costing a fortune. Does anyone know if there is a site on line that I can use to swap them?
thanks

    Not sure about swapping, but ... http://www.matchattax.com/ - click on 'shop' allows you to buy a limited number of cards at 35p each: 4 x man of the match, 4 x limited edition or about 25 of the normal cards. You choose which cards you want. Only one order per person, but I have ordered under different names at the same address. I think it's worth it to spend 35p on a card my son wants rather than 35p on a pack which is full of doubles! Someone is actually selling this information on ebay!!!

    ps I was really chuffed when the Christiano Ronaldo card came through on my birthday - how sad is that??

    We have brought some of our son's cards on ebay - saved us a fortune!
    New cards are being issued soon to take into account the recent transfers windows! ARGHHHHH....
    Happy swapping

    depending on how old your son is he can always join swapitshop
    http://www.swapitshop.com/ and swap his vouchers for credits and buy some in return off others

    I was sent a sample pack yesterday - they are out on 17/3! Basically you get one 'new signing' card in the pack and the others are the same as before!

    assume these are similar to the 'shoot out' cards which were all the rage last year.

    Last year, I listed all his cards on ebay and when someone had bought one batch of 20, I allowed my son to purchase another set of 20 from another buyer at the same value taking p&p into account. That way each set only cost me the listing fees and we got the full set in the end.
