Impulsive card purchases -- Trust your gut or run?

[ZiggerZagger]

I was at a card show today with every intention to keep my proverbial powder dry for the National in August. For inexplicable reasons, however, I made a rather large impulse buy for reasons I'm still trying to work out. Currently stuck somewhere between buyer's remorse and excitement.

Thought it would be fun as well as therapeutic to hear others' stories of major (or minor) impulse buys after some time has passed. It might help me sleep a bit better at night...


Since you'd ask, my purchase was a '63 Rose RC. I suppose as hot a card as it's been lately, that probably played a role. Never had a Rose RC before, either. That damn centering was calling to me like a junkie. I typically keep to mid-grade (PSA 5-7) cards. For pre-war, I go all SGC/PSA, and post-war all PSA. This is the only BVG card in my collection. Like I said, I have no way to rationally explain what compelled me, other than the card looks absolutely smokin'... sigh.

Not sure what to do now -- enjoy it, sell it quick, or push for a PSA crossover to a 7.5 or higher? Double sigh. Some serious first-world problems
