Hey, ebayer: you just spend over $100 on a box, ENJOY THE FREAKIN' CARDS! <br /><br />I don't understand it. How many people have ever actually been able to turn a profit on their collecting? It's not an investment, it's a hobby!! Whenever I buy a box I seriously let it sit for a week or two, only opening a couple packs a day. It stretches my money further and is way more enjoyable. Because what fun is there, really, in ripping an entire cheap box in one sitting? <br /><br />Sometimes I feel like such an "outsider" by enforcing a budget and sticking to it!! I've "saved up" for a couple weeks now and may purchase something "big" this week - but by that I mean UD Masterpieces, or something with a guaranteed hit or two under $50 that also wouldn't be hard to complete a set of that ALSO is available in retail packs to complete the set cheaper. I work and have plenty of money to spend on cards if I want, but I don't. I've been there, and it's not fun to have a ton of product laying around that you really don't care about.<br /><br />Rant over, I'll save the rest for an entry of my own!Joe S.http://www.pricelesspursuit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199682580817638883.post-60929862001111310622009-07-08T10:07:13.159-07:002009-07-08T10:07:13.159-07:00I was that guy for a couple of years...the one rip...I was that guy for a couple of years...the one ripping open packs, only looking for the hits. I ended up many thousands of dollars in debt and had literally a ton of unsorted, practically unsearched product from 98 to 02 that I sold for almost nothing last year to avoid the wrath of the wife. That is a story I'm saving for my own blog....if I get it started. I missed out on the real joy of collecting by not actually "collecting". That sound you hear is me kicking my own butt.Play at the Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14231140141558021698noreply@blogger.com
