also realize when you buy a card at an auction...you already are the one that was willing to pay top dollar.....if there are several unique bidders above a certain price point..thats the price point in which you can sell it back ..so realize that the more you want a card..the less of a chance someone will want the card as much as you price wise..but again..if its 100 bucks..people can pay that if dont love the card cause its 100 versus 500 ...

Another great point, I've had this general thought before as well. Statistically speaking the fat part of the bell curve is probably around the mid range price, whereas the higher prices are in the tails of the curve. Basically you have a much larger population that can afford a lower price and as you go up the population declines. A very good point to consider and I think if you look at something like a Montana PSA-10 that goes for like $12,000 you are talking about a pretty small population that would actually be able and willing to drop that kind of money on one card. It's almost like outliers so to speak.
But overall a good thought, I don't want to get over zealous and over buy on grade when I could be perfectly happy and safe in the happy medium.
Thanks
