Current EB prices for unused cards are between $1.75 USD to $2.50 USD per card.

I've got around 200 blanks or so, which should be enough for a while. Every so often I buy another 40 or 80 for my 65 and 97 when I see a good deal that's around $1 per card.

I get a ton of use out of the card readers in my 65 and 97 (not having continuous memory is of course a big factor). I suspect I would need to actually use it much less frequently on my 41, but being able to quickly offload, reload, and back up programs or data is very appealing. Plus I've got the 67/97 Math Pac and Surveying Pac, as well as programs I've written, that could quickly be imported and spruced up a little.
