I have managed over the years to obtain most of the spares I need for my
straight 8.  For those A, B, G, R, and S type modules I still don't have I
am willing to pay as much as $30 with shipping each.  Of course paying less
is always better.  And the really rare cards I would of course pay more
for.  Even cards with missing parts or defect tags are valuable for the
parts that are still there.

The first thing you probably should do is inventory what you have and put
it up on a website as available for sale or trade.  I should probably put
up a website with a list of what I an looking for.
