For many of this is almost the norm.
Bordering on an addiction and also and enjoyment.
I have made great friends from the hobby and spend time talking or texting them related to the cards.
I have made alot of time and I do spend time researching and exploring every auction, ebay etc to check for cards, pricing etc.
I have sometimes overextended my budget and resources to get specific cards.
Then I have to step back from buying for sometime (ie months or more) to regroup the funds.
The Hardest part is the day the auction ends and especially the evenings in extended time and get into the bid frenzy.
Then when I do the Oops and get something I really did mean to or over bought then I sell or auction something to get back in line
But it is an addiction and it takes alot of control
And I love it
