I compartmentalize my purchases, everything is on a list and there are tiers of what I would pay assigned accordingly. $50-$1000, $2000-$5000, $5000-$10,000 etc. My unicorn cards like a CJ14 Cobb, #181 Ruth, 51 Mantle would fall into the $10,000-$30,000 range. I don't have the firepower to go for much bigger than that so I stop there.
Of course, if I have a wee dram during an auction those price levels might expand a bit.
