Hi
I guess it would all depend on what your collection focus is.
I usually buy 1 to 3 Cards a year and try and grow my collection slow and strategically and manage the funds accordingly
My issue is I usually only see a few items of interest across ALL auctions over a period of time.
However, Over the Last 9 Months (and especially the last 3 months) I have had sensory overload.
Result I bought about 2 to 3 years of cards in last 6 months.
To Many Cards I am interested in at 1 time in so many auctions. So Many cards that have not come up for auction for a long time (I am assuming people taking profit on cards that bought long ago).
This has caused me
1. to buy more then I usually do so I exceeded my budget and a bit over extended. (NO REGRETS) out of fear I may not get a chance to get them again for a long time
2. Miss out on a lot of Great and/or rare cards since the budget goes so far.
3. Selling/flipping some cards I did not want to but Other Cards on my list that I wanted more. (and not sure when I can now replace those I gave up)
4.Hoping no more good items come up for a while so I have time to regroup the funds.
But Memory Lane Preview came out and Has some amazing cards I want and I will potentially miss out on all. (Oh Well but Darn) because it came to soon for me.
Heritage Auction in November is also looking strong for cards I want and that may also be to soon for me.
There are always other Auctions down the line but so far the cards I like seem to keep coming.
