I bought a bunch of cards over the course of the fall from a local store's bid board. Several months later I realize that I don't "need" most of them. For me it has taken a while to develop a perspective on purchases - being able to discern the difference between the draw of the moment and a deeper draw that says this card needs to be in my collection.
If you have money to burn it doesn't matter. But if you have a tight budget, being finely tuned in your selectivity is essential. I wish I had my money back for 80% of the cards I bought last year (I was only spending about $7 a week so it isn't as bad as it sounds). Then I'd be closer to getting the ones I truly need.
