What card would you arrange financing to buy?

[G1911]

None. I’m not going into debt for a cardboard picture. I don’t buy anything I cannot afford. No more than a small fraction of cash on hand should be spent on toys.

Good luck to those who bet more than the entirety of their resources on a card bubble.

If you're thinking about financing a card. It might be a better idea to sell every card you have in order to buy the card you so want. If you have to finance a card you cant afford the card. Sell what you have and then use the funds to buy.

Agree 100%

If there is a deal so good you are willing to go into debt for it you are probably getting scammed.

What he said +1000. If you can't afford it, you don't need it.

My wife refers to my collection mostly as 'pictures of old, dead men on cardboard'.

That’s how I describe it too. A little cognizance of the absurdity of the things we happen to like helps to keep things in perspective and not take it so seriously that one drains their retirement, goes into debt, or trades their first born to Satan.

Never.

Buying - absolutely never happen - never in the past - never in the future.

Selling - maybe I would accept payments if I've known them for a minimum of my entire life.

So I take it you're not a fan of the Little Mermaid selling her soul to the devil to fundamentally change who she is to chase after a boy she's never really met?

But maybe love is more important than cardboard!

As an expert on relationships*, that sounds like a perfectly healthy foundation to me. What could go wrong? If she changes herself to always be what he wants, she’ll never lose him!

Now I'm going to have to watch Little Mermaid. That's what it's about?

A big zero

I've made payments on items several times over the years but I've never paid any interest, and wouldn't.
