This is the most i've ever spent on a single card, but what a nice one to do it on :)

At least we buck the trend a little here in Aus. I know a lot of high end guys that have constant card turnover. Sure people are impressed by their mailday posts but when you start with $2000 and buy a card, sell it and then buy another $2000 card and then sell that and spend $2000 imo its only one initial high end purchase. Just quietly the dude spending $100 every now and then ends up spending more and having a better pc.

From what I notice most of the stuff posted here or in best card for the year is still in pc's.



And isnt that just the best thing about it, aye!

Couldnt have agree'd more on that one Chadly ol' Chap!
 
im honestly amazed the majority of people are in the high rollers club...:eek:

with the exception of about 4 or 5 cards, i havent spent over $100US on any single card in my PC. my collections have been built on the $25-50 cards.

actually im like that too, ive only spent over $100 once and that was my most expensive card ive ever bought. next biggest spend wouldve been $45 for a Cmag 1/1.
 
I am with you there, I think i have only cracked the $100 mark 3 times for single cards.

I admire your restraint :) I can't recall how many times I have paid >$100 and quiet frankly I probably don't want to! That said, I don't regret it, and I'm now quietly fine tuning into specific collections that will likely not take me above that mark too many more times in the future.
 
I think thats the difference, i pretty much just brouse the bay and if i like something i will put a low bid in. If i win great if not no loss. Even now and then i will lash out or a Nate or Horace but not very often.
 
I dropped just under 2K on a large range of DRobs a while back, mostly auto's etc.

The most I spent was on here I believe, I spent about $300 on a drob/hakeem auto, the redemption one from skybox 94/95 set - I got it off yellows2K

Im still happy with that, though I did eventually see it cheaper on ebay, I dont regret it!
 
Lately I've been cracking the $500US dollar mark for single cards. I think its a natural progression to spend more and more as you get older. I remember as a kid thinking $1-2 was expensive for cards. Then this grew to $10, $50, $100 etc.

But hey, money isn't everything and as a collector each card I purchase is priceless and I wouldn't part with any of them.
