I'll blend previous advice....
The first questions I would ask myself are 1)how available are the cards I'm looking for in the condition I'm looking for them in? 2) When they come up for sale in that condition, what have they sold for (looking for sales within a 12 month time frame - vcp or PSA auction history).
If the cards as Larry suggested earlier rarely come up for sale or are within about 20% of what they sold for and available from a "high priced seller", I would probably pull the trigger. If they come up a little more regularly or are "available" -but grossly out of line (>20% over) with past sales - I'm going to anticipate waiting 6 months to a year to try to buy them right.
The tougher the card (given the condition I want it in), the more likely I am to have an itchy trigger finger. The easier the card, the more likely I am to have great patience.
