petethey can also be very frustrating. especially if you depend on ebay or other auction sites and are not a recent lottery winner or smart enough to have a high dollar profession...i envy the cash flow! i've had hundreds of modern sets and sold them off to switch to the vintage stuff when a pack of cards started running $3.99 for a bunch of crap.
but since in the vintage stage, i have started 5 different sets and stopped all 5 of those sets due to being out bid or just lack of cash to buy the card when available somewhere like the b/s/t...or even seeing the card at all. so i am now just a regular "certain player" or "card type" collector, over the last 6-8 months i've bought some good cards in hopes to turn them around later and so far i have paid for a lot of the cards that i am planning on holding in my personal collection...so thats fun too!
maybe i was too impatient to keep looking for those needed cards but now my blood pressure is much more steady on sundays at 6pm
