Yes I have done that a few times most recently to finish my Series 2 T210's.The problem is that every time I pay a premium for a card I have been having trouble locating another one pops up within a week that I would have been just as happy with.Oh well......

On certain items I pursue, the right price for me is often much more than most collectors would pay. I will pay what a card is worth to me, though I am quite happy to pay a bidding increment higher than what a card is worth to the underbidder beneath my bid!

If the card is really tough then sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and grab it when becomes available, even if it's over the perceived book value. If it's that tough then the perceived book value could be understated.

Almost every passionate collector has paid more than they intended to acquire a card. I do it all of the time
 . I have almost never regretted it....

Seeing how just about everybody would be willing to spend more for the card they need. The follow up is sort of how long do you look before giving in to that higher price. Obviously if the card rarely appears your timetable is predetermined.
I'm at the point where I need one card to finish two different sets. The cards I need are readily available but not at the price I initially anticipated. I've been looking for probably close to 3 months and have just about reached the point of "Heck with it. I'm buying even if it is >30% more than what I wanted to pay."
