+1. You always want to be ready when there's a card that you really want at a price that is reasonable. In tracking my progress, I keep a current top ten list of cards that I really want to pick up. They don't have to be rare or HOF'ers, just cards that for whatever reason you want to add to your collection the most. That helps me decide when to jump in on a card. I started back up (after getting to 276 from the 1980's to 2003) in April 2011 and I'm now at 387. I'm looking for SGC 20-50 or raw equivalents, with a few PSA's scattered in there. It is definitely an addiction!
Best of luck,
Steve

Desiderata
You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
