Thoughts on baseball card budget

Working within a budget does allow you to showcase a certain amount of ingenuity that someone with unlimited funds can�t. I am more impressed with a collection assembled on the cheap by someone who put some imagination into it than I am by one assembled by someone just dumping a big pile of money on expensive stuff.

As someone who knows someone, who knows someone, with big piles of money, I can safely say that most of them enjoy their big piles of money and get excited just as much as us with little piles of money, if not more. They are no different. I guess I am a value collector, or try to be, myself. Because after my daughters Masters degree, first semester cost, my budget is quite a bit smaller. I have no choice but to be a value-collector.
