I don't blame the guy with the Black Sabbath poster. Most of us, who have been doing it a while, have done something like that...and might again!

Good point, if you're going to overpay its better to overpay with another board member, you just never know what could happen if rare cards make it out of the clubhouse.
Plus it feels better selling a card to a fellow member/friend/colleague than some rando in the outside world because you can always invoke the "if you're going to sell it, you have to give me first shot at buying it back" clause.
