You said it!! It's tough to find any eBay bargains these days...or even 'normally' priced items, so you have to decide if it's worth it to overpay to secure a card you desire. I just bought an oddball Mantle in ungraded, mid-range condition, but they almost never come up for sale, so as much as I hated doing it, I plunked down the money to make the grab. Now, I'll be forced to eat nothing but ramen for a while.
