Morgan, I don't think Heirloom seeds is the cheapest, as you call it, and there are many other variables that come into play when trying to find the lowest cost for X amt of seeds.
SandHill lists at least four times the number of tomato varieties than does HSeeds and Sandhill 2007 prices are $175 each ( were $1.50 last year), and 10 packs for $1.60 each, any 20 packs for $30.00 and each pack has a minimum of 25 seeds, and usually 50 to 100 as their blurb says and all who have received seeds from them have said they send a lot of seeds.
Standard Sandhill shipping is FREE unless your total seed offer for all seeds is less that $10 and then they ask for one dollar, yes one dollar.
I know Tom Hauch at Heirloom Seeds and have for many years and I do think he runs a fine business. I'm just citing Sand Hill re shipping costs and prive breaks on volume packs in answer to your comment about $3 at HS being the lowest price as well as them having the lowest price for inidividual packs.
