Set collecting advise?

Posted By: Dave F

You have 90% of your available card funds tied up in the one set your collecting. Your at 80% of the set...six cards away. You still need a Cobb (cringe), and it just so happens that since you've started on this endeavor the set you chose to collect has jumped in prices. What do you do? Hunker down and keep trying to pluck away a little at a time? Jump ship and find something a cheaper set for the time being? Obviously those with unlimited funds aren't going to quite be able to understand this as they could go unto other things and just set these cards aside until the ones they need pop up regardless of price. Myself, six cards away and neeing low grade at somewhat reasonable prices...am I spitting in the wind? Frustration has definately set in when I see I have little money for other things as I wait for the few cards that I do need.
