That is sweet and sort of the way I think too.
My card budget is whatever I see I like and can afford. (which isn't a ton nowadays).... But I also KNOW if done correctly it's not spending it's investing
. I can rarely spend but I can invest (it seems almost daily nowadays).

I started from scratch, and my collection has been growing for 12 years now. It seems to be working because right now, overall, I'm about $2500 in the hole on a collection that is worth well over $30,000 in strictly vintage cards (1887-1974).
