I seem to cycle through this regularly. Buy a bunch of different stuff that I "have to have" until my collection loses any kind of focus. Then I pare it down to what I think is the keeper stuff, tell myself that's my new focus, and away I go. The cycle always repeats itself.
The way I see it, collections can change. If you are able to at least break even on the stuff that you rotate through, then what's the harm? I mean, at the end of the day, there are some keeper items I wish I still had, but at the same time, this approach has allowed me to own some pretty cool cards over the years without having to sink massive amounts of money into it.
