Thanks, guys.
Ya, there are plenty of other distractions. But I look at it this way. I'll pay the Mick every month before I even think about buying anything else.
1.) Pay bills
2.) Pay Mick
3.) put into savings
4.) whatever is left, it's shopping time!
Matt's right, there are a limited number of good lower grade cards. Chuck just got one, so I know they're out there. But just like the Walter Johnson T206 I'm chasing right now, the higher end of each grade commands a premium, so I'll be saving extra. If $8,000 were to get a 2, I figure $10,000 + would get a nice 2. Plus, by the time I'm ready to buy, the price structure will have jumped. I'm going to have to increase my rate of saving to catch up, so to speak.
But I will get there. I might be an old man, too blind to see it, but I will get there!
