When will you overpay?

I overpay when I get close to completing a set. My impatience gets the best of me and I just "have" to win the last five cards or so.

A couple of years ago at the National I found the last two cards I needed to complete my E94 set. Once the deal was done, I told the dealer I just completed the set. He, half-jokingly said, "Damn, if I knew they were the last two you needed, I would have charged more."

I rarely overpay, because I am usually the underbidder. I make other people overpay.

I accidentally posted this in the 5k investment thread....but here is what I overpaid for today...As I said....now watch 50 of them come out at $5 each...

Interesting Leon...I wonder if Eddie Boland was the chase card, impossible to find thus ensuring few or any prizes would be given out.

Seriously, I will overpay for any Chase, Cobb or Donlin cards which I don't already have so if any of you kind souls want to be the recipient of such largesse email me with any cards you'd like to sell.
