What causes you the most frustration as a card collector?

[Bestdj777]

The most frustrating thing is when you approach the end of a set and the few remaining cards you need just are not out there. And, when they finally do pop up, two of the same cards surface at the same time and you end up accidentally winning both.

Good one, Chris.

How about this one? The more cards I buy, the more I seem to want....

Not having the money for all the cards that I can't afford.

What bugs me the most about card collecting ... seeing someone who buys an uncut sheet ... who then cuts it up so they can get a PSA 10 card. Seriously, there are only a few uncut sheets out there of some sets (and they're getting smaller every day for every set) and some idiot in it for the money destroys a piece of the hobbies history for a few $ of profits.

Those are the same idiots that would cut up Monet's Waterlies and put a sliver in a piece of a card to sell worthless 1980s baseball cards.

And the sgdest part is ... if the uncut sheet collector wasn't so short-tmer profit oriented ... they'd realize that the uncut sheet is worth more than anything else they could ever own ... and would never be dumb enough to sell it for $100 in profit.

But that will never happen as our politicians have taught us ... being short-sighted gets you re-elected.

Cheers,

The chase for the cards is great, but once I have the cards they lose some appeal, not buyer's remorse, but something like it.
