Sometimes I can't tell if it is a keeper or not until I have it in hand. I want it and get it and then if something else comes along, I jump at that and feel like it makes sense to move another card to make room (monetarily mostly).
Also, as a newly converted type collector, I can buy a type card which fills a slot for that particular set, but then another comes along which I feel would be a better example.
For example, I had a few E92 Crofts CAndy cards but when the miscut Dougherty came around, it had the color and uniqueness to just grab my interest. So, out go the others that I had.
That "uniqueness" is what makes a keeper for me. I think it would be hard to part with anything that I don't think I could get my hands on again.
