I've found that too many times my collecting habits have led to me buying a few cards twice.

I hope to buy a card twice….or 3 or 4 times. If I’m at a place financially where I can afford a Mantle that’s a 2, I’ll buy it because it’s real and it’s a Mantle. If a year later I can afford a three or a four then I will buy it again and I will keep upgrading until I acquire the best one that I can afford.
