Any one else have this problem?

[Chris_paul]

When I first started collecting I was stoked and found it alot more fun last year but now I want every damn card I see its like im a phene and just want more and its getting ridiculous! I dont know maybe because I collect too much and I want the best card of every player I collect but I love all the players so much I dont want to stop collecting them, I tried changing players but I didnt stop with the others and ive got more on my plate, go to sleep worrying about some of the cards aswell

Not really sure what to do I also feel I have a decent cp3 collection but I just want every cp3 there is so maybe I have to proirtise and things may start being alot more fun. Any ideas?

I get that way with Kyle, but that;s it.

Yeah I'm buying way to much, been doing some culling recently... but that just leads to more buying!

 

[Chris_paul]

lol exactly my case aswell Ill work more hours but still buy more.

This is exactly why I try and resist to collect too many players

And why, if I like a particular player, I limit it to 1 super card (always an auto patch) to fill my craving. Also helps that i don't like just any player out there.
That way, I am happy with my pick up and won't need to go for others. As I just adore auto game used cards.

But I have been there with Shaq, I just had to get the next cool thing out. But then, I learn't to stay focused on only what I like, and not "because I don't have it".

I'm the same with other players. I want/have just 1 auto, auto/patch of the big names that I like and idolised growing up. Won't get any others. Kyle is the only player I keep growing at, and unlike you with Shaq, it's rather cheap compared.

And admitting you have a problem is just the first step....

Matrix, do you have a specific collection or player you chase. I think it helps to have a focus. It sucks but you have to realise that you can't collect every card. I've come to that realisation with my Moses collection.

I think the best thing to do (what i've done anyway) is to set a budget each week/month whatever...an amount youre comfortable with spending, and once its gone, you dont spend anymore, helps to keep things under control

I get that way when I see 1/1s, and stuff really hard to get, but not much else has me going out buying buying buying.

Agreed on that front! I am still rueing not being the higher bidding collector I am now, last year. Cause last year I missed out on Korver Ultimate Collection 1/1 and Korver SP Authentic Exquisite Endorsements Auto 1/1! If I had a shot at them again...Watch out!

 

[ace e]

I was like that for a while and i found the simplest solution............ everyone can do it and its soo easy.........


ready for it







STOP LOOKING AT EBAY ........... i have not looked since i became unemployed and i havnt bought a single card yet.

If you dont know what your missing out on you wont buy.

yeah those are kind of the cp3 I chase and only in hes rookie year I collect but hard to get cards aswell like esq auto rookie patch I still need the 3 colour spx auto patch that only goes to hundred and gold refractors etc not quite 1/1 s but still hard to get.

 

[Chris_paul]

[Chris_paul]
