Does your collection have a salary cap?

Collecting for a long time is a red herring. It isn't the amount that you paid for the cards, it is the amount that it is worth today. Forgetting tax ramifications and selling costs, every day the person decides to keep money in their collection instead of in the bank/paying off debts etc.

I agree that it would have have been better as a percentage of net worth and depending on where they were in the the baby steps.

that I adhere to, however, my internal alarm bells go off for any card over $100, and that makes me think alot, and sometimes I become queasy. Not saying that I won't buy it, but it takes a lot of thought and sometimes even more Tums or Pepto Bismol, depending on the card.

No specific limits, but I'm trying not to "grow" my collection right now, only spend if I sell, or sell when I spend is how it usually works.

Yes, I don't collect any players who have ever made over $250,000/yr to play baseball.

Collect only cards that cost more than the player ever made playing baseball in one season.
