How much do you spend per month....

[383astro]

on cards and memorabilia? do you have limits or a plan/schedule of what to buy? or just buy anything you want? or do you so much/percentage on GU and then this amount on Player collection base and sets or? Unfortunately I am paying off CC bills and only get to spend 100 a month on cards. What about you?

 

[jbone17]

I limit to about 100 as well, but not any more with college lol. I try to do at least 50.

 

[ffgameman]

Right now, anywhere from $0-40.

That goes from buying nothing (I have tried to cut back) to buying at most 2 blasters per month.

I generally only spend the money which I make from selling other cards. Rarely does "new" money really ever get added.

Lately about $100 a month, usally more around 40. I usally only spend around 10-15 out of pocket though.

 

[Wes]

$2-3k.

It's been lowering the last few weeks, but usually a month, about $60-$80 I'd say.

Sell cards to buy new ones.

 

[LuckySlugger]

Not as much as I would like. That is for certain.

But ever since I completed my set, I really haven't bought anything with the exception of a few Samardzijas.

 

[Craig - 21hawk]

In the last six months I've spent $168. $110 of that was at Twinsfest.

I try to limit myself to $25 a week.

Now that said, I have been known to spend 4 months worth of purchases in 10 minutes when a ryan card comes up that are beyond rare (this is pre 95 stuff only).

I lookk for anything I do not currently have of ryan. I am also beyond frugal so unless the card is missing from my (non psa) psa master set, I will usually only pay about 10% bv. My sniping company probably hates me since I may win 1 out of every 100 items I bid on.

Do a good amount of buying and selling.

 

[cmixer]

totally depends on eBAY -

I bid the same - sometimes I win $200 - this month only $25.

Of course - I also spent with blowout this month (first time in a year)

Average - yeah, $100/month

 

[imac220]

$0-$50

 

[chuckbartowski]

I've netted about $7000 in spending since I got back into collecting in December. Most of that is back pay from last year (my union worked without a contract for the whole year)

I'll probably settle in at $1000-$2000 a month depending on what shows up on Ebay (probably usually closer to $1000 for the most part)

That set ranks in my top 10 of sweetest sets I have seen completed. Very nice, congrats

I love the stuff you buy. Very nice stuff. You go good taste.

I need some kind of counseling I think, the prices have just been so cheap I can't restrain myself. I spent close to 2k in 2 months, but I easily made 2k in 2 months last spring on a LOT less cards. I am chilling out now, and happy baseball season is getting close!
