Check Amazon, most of the cards sell for a relatively cheap price.

For the SMS, the US and Europe are the same region... most or maybe even all European games should work on a US system, actually, I believe.

Nah, there are varying titles depending on region. You can find Tennis on Card here in the US and on Cart in Pal areas.
On another note, who collects Jap Mark III or SG 1000?

Huh? Of course some games only came out in one region or the other (mostly just Europe, given how much more successful it was there). The point, though, is that the US and Europe are the same region -- so you can play those European carts and cards in your US Master System. There is no hardware or software lockouts and the carts are shaped identically. Most PAL games even support NTSC... I have heard that there are some European Genesis games that don't display properly in NTSC, but I don't know if any European SMS games are like that. I haven't heard that they are, but that isn't a definitive answer.
Japanese Mark III games are differently shaped and incompatible, however.

I think you are confusing things.
Just because you can play a game from another region, doesn't mean its the same region.
You are correct of course on being able to play one on the other (NTSC and Pal having no lockout).

I do; I'm trying to aim for a complete collection, CIB of course.
