75%-90% of the time if the paper on the acrylic has writing on it is extruded...ie. the cheaper version of acrylic. I've ruined more bits by using extruded plastic. Cast is the more expensive but worth the .50-.75 extra per square foot. I have a good relationship with my local plastic fabricator and he gave me the tip.
Most of the plastic places will have a scrap bin that they will let you rummage through for a dollar a pound.
