Remember the Monster wants you to quit.
Don't listen to it. I got my first T206 around '82 and bought my first around '84 and 'tamed' the Monster around '08 and learned two virtues of patience and perseverance by having to practice them again and again. And yes, I'm still practicing them again and again but they've become friends rather than foes. **** And May I say a RESOUNDING WELCOME BACK to YAWIE. Things haven't been the same without you, buddy!!! Best, barry

A well written story and great follow up posts. I have come to realize I can't even check my email without opening eBay, Net54, SCG, and a few other sites. I too have over-extended at times because I felt the "card" at the time had to be purchased immediately or would forever be missed. When you finally come to terms with your limitations, you will find that the "card" of the day will be back tomarrow or soon there after. Unless you veer to the obscure, mainstream sets will be there when you can afford the cards. Let's face it, these cards and sets waited 90+ years to inflict their venom upon some of us. One thing I have done recently to help calm the hunger pangs is to still bid on a lot of cards, but low-ball the bids. If I win, I win twice...get the cards and get them at a steal. If I lose, I try again. It has worked for me. Good luck with your set. But more importantly, good luck with your self control. This is a great hobby.
