First of all I spelled your name with only 1 "l" earlier because that's how you spelled it in the previous post. Looked funny....but hey, with a name like mine who knows? In my brief collecting career I have made the best decisions when I try to take the emotion out of them. I still find it difficult (as almost every other board member will have the same issue) when it's for my personal collection. Recently I paid about $400 more for a card on ebay than the same exact type brought just a few weeks later. Had I been patient I would possibly have been better off (had I bid on the later one first it's hard to say for sure). Like most pro's say, you will probably see another of whatever your heart is set on. There are few examples that you will "never" see again.....take care and whatever you do ...have fun with the hobby. 99% of the people I have met are great folks.....it's been a lot of fun so far.
