I voted for $1k t $5k...
I took it as how much I'm willing to spend/invest. I've now bought a few cards in that range and am comfortable doing so. Anything over that and I wouldn't be comfortable as I do not buy to invest, I buy the cards I want not carrying about resale. If I bought a card for $2k and I love the card, and it drops to $1k...I could care less.
Like the example of paintings above, I also collect classic cars from 1955 to 74. Same rules apply and I like to stick in the $10K (project) to $35K (complete). My collection is very consistent in value...and again, I don't buy to invest, but to DRIVE.
