Often, a complete of pieces may be purchased without having to also buy a new board. Typically, the pieces you would pick up in a retail outlet would be the cheap plastic types or the slightly more expensive wooden checkers pieces.

Perhaps your set is not one of the cheaper types. The set in your possession has been in your family for a generation or two, and actually is not made of wood or plastic. Instead, your pieces are made of silver. If that is the case, then you may have better luck checking out higher end specialty shops or even antique shops. Elaborately made pieces often find their way into exclusive environments as estates are settled and items are sold off.

If you are not able to match up your missing checkers piece at a local shop or store, then turn to the Internet. Auction sites may have just what you are looking for.

It is also possible that someone who posts to a message board for checkers enthusiasts might be able to help you locate the type and style of checkers piece you are looking for.

When you have a checkers set you love, there is no reason to discard it, simple because you are missing a checkers piece or two. Often, you can locate a replacement for the piece, and enjoy your set for many years to come.
