I have been doing TTM a little (because its like 5 bucks per autograph) but I have little patience when it comes to waiting like that, but at least I get results.

Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! Mine is next year, so I'm in the same boat with you--no spending until those bills are paid (I am a card guy and have been able to pick up some inexpensive type cards without issue). My advice is to try your best to use this time wisely. Instead of checking eBay repeatedly for the handful of cards I really want, I've been reading up on everything possible on this site. I do feel a bit tortured when I see something I've searched for for years pop up and can't pull the trigger. That said, it was harder to find a good girl than it will ever be to find any of the cards on my list.
