Almost all 8-bit cards are increasingly rare with time.  I go out
of my way these days just to get ahold of ANY 8-bit ISA hardware
at all, even 'common' cards are growing 'rare.'  The PC and XT
machines I got this past week are almost a 'fluke'- machines from
the 'back room' of an industrial test lab.  You don't find
8088-era hardware anywhere except in rare exceptions anymore. 
(and when I do, I almost always am the only person who wants it,
and get it for virtually free, i.e. the complete PC Convertible I
got several years ago at auction for a dollar, and the two Kaypro
Portables at the same auction for a buck.  And the wonderful
Compaq Portable III I recently got)
