I do, it's just not a ton. Recently I used part of an inheritance to pickup some higher priced postwar cards that had always been on my list - and this is not a regret, as I said it's my first love and there were some things I wanted to take care of there first. But in terms of my normal spending, it's maybe a couple hundred dollars a year on cards. I could do more, but don't really want to make my hobby any large part of the family budget or anything like that. As a result, in my normal spending mode it's rare that I will spend more than $100 on a single card. Saving is of course an option, it just feels like such a long shot.
