I never thought I would spend 5K on a card, then the bar was 10K, then 15K, then 20K. I guess it would depend on cash flow and desire for the card and whether I could budget for it. Not having enough money for the cards you want actually focuses your attention on what is really important to your collection.

All joking aside I have a budget for my cards.
Then based on the budget I exceed it

Let's just say I would have to sell stuff in order to continue buying what I was buying 5 years ago. Back in 2013 when the 86 Fleer Jordan was at 10K, I remember thinking that was insane. Today, there are plenty of collectors with multiple 10K cards like it's nothing. One thing I have noticed is that my collection is getting smaller and smaller because I keep having to sell multiple items in order to purchase that one bigger item because I can't even keep up with the price fluctuations. I'm just glad I didn't really buy during the hype last year and decided to wait it out and stand on the sidelines.

I've come close but draw the line at $5k and have yet to exceed that for a single card(I think). My buying habits have changed and I now prefer volume over individual value because it's fun to diversify. It sneaks up on you though and $5k can happen quickly. My avg purchase is ~$350 which is drawn down by the fact that my $750-900 bids have not been good enough lately. Been getting smoked on ebay and a few auctions. The current goal is to leave a hoard of cards for my kids to "find" when I'm gone. Cards along with precious metals, collectibles, art and items collected over my decade and a half of travelling(being shipped to) unique lands all over the globe . I have always loved the stories of finds from dad/grandpa/uncle's closet or attic so why not create one myself.

0.1% of my total liquid assets. (Which is getting lower by the day. Ouch!)

Depends on a number of things. Did I make any large card purchases recently? Does it fit in to a project I have at the moment? Is the value in the same ballpark as the asking price, or will it appreciate to it? My threshold has also changed as I've gotten older; when I was in college, spending more than $100 or so on a card was something I needed to budget for, now it isn't.
