At the end of the trading card phase, whatever is left in the lower row is discarded, the unbought cards in the upper row move down to the lower row, and the upper row is refilled to eight. So an unbought card waits at most two rounds: one in the upper row, then one in the lower row before it is discarded. The first round has no lower row to clear.
