To answer your question about mistakes I've made:

1) I've gotten impatient while trying to build sets (i.e. a Goudey HOF set in PSA) and I'll purchase a card in a BVG holder with the thought that I'll cross it over. Firstly, it's probably a mistake to get caught up in set registry BS, as I'll never afford a top 5 set, and it's just a marketing scheme to drive loyalty to a holder, but I do love the consistency of the same holder for a certain set. The next mistake is thinking that a BVG 4 Rogers Hornsby will translate to a PSA 4. We all know that won't happen. At least I know now.

2) Again, the theme of impatience rears its ugly head. I've made the mistake of wanting to check a box so bad that I settle for an off-centered card I don't love to look at.
