[QUOTE=Rob D.;735235 My modus operandi has been, for the most part, to buy or trade for things with the intent of keeping them a long time. I know what I enjoy collecting and owning, so there are few instances in which I decide to get rid of something I've acquired.[/QUOTE]
Great comment. As a former collector and now a dealer, I have always tried to follow the philosophy to never buy a card unless I would be comfortable holding it for five years. Whenever I have wavered from that fairly disciplined approach, I have typically regretted my actions. As for buying what's "hot"; I'd rather own what's timeless!
