Set a realistic budget and if your dream card shows up buy it from whoever has it.

This is what I did for my 54 Aaron. Took years to find one at a decent price, but I found one at a show in Indianapolis. Got it for a steal. Could have flipped it the same day for $1000 more than i paid. But it will be in my collection forever.
