tbobThere are so many guys with deeper pockets than me, just on this board, that I wonder why I even try. That's why it is always sweet to find that "great card deal," or that "special find", or have friends in the hobby who still believe in trading and help a buddy along.
For those of you who are reading this and are realtively new to the hobby (the lurkers out there and the newbies, as we call 'em) don't lose heart in the wake of all the "gee I wish I had won that lot I only bid $15,000 talk." You can still build a great collection on a modest income set aside for cards. You might be endlessly upgrading and selling the upgraded cards, but the sheer pleasure of putting together, card by card, a vgex T207 set can not be surpassed by someone picking up the phone and buying a 19th Century card for $10k and not blinking an eye.
There's still room in the hobby for the little guy and the satisfaction of finally picking up the vg card to complete a set or for a type card.
