Ever buy a card and wonder why?

Topnotchsy · Aug 26, 2013

I do this every now and again and am wondering if I am the only one. I see a nice card on eBay, know that it really has no place in my collection and I don't really know what the value is, but decide to place a bid for some reason, and occasionally end up winning it. No clue what this is worth and if I overpaid significantly, but it's a nice card...

How much did you happen to pay if you don't mind me asking. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post. Awesome card! (I'm a Yankee fan)

No secret, I paid $300. No clue if it's a good price. Will likely ultimately research prices and look to resell it. I like the card, but it's not a RC Auto or vintage/HOF GU or auto which are the two areas I am really interested in.

Beautiful card! I have a tendency to do that lol, great pickup though!

Can't really tell if you overpaid or underpaid but Its a nice card either way!

Nice card. low grade probably kept the price down.

Not so much anymore. I limit what I buy so I don't second guess myself so much then

Every time I think about doing something like this, I just think of the next Belle cards that I want to buy or be able to buy if it's a rare one, and then I lay off to save funds for that day

Anyways, cool card! I'd love to have a Jeter auto one day.

It sold for book. I sold the 2000 autographics purple foil for 800.00 that booked 1500.00

Wow crazy difference in price just one year later. Thanks for the info.

Edit: card says 2000 on the back but iirc that was a mistake right?

I do that occasionally. Last time i did was ironically a jeter card. I typed in "jeter topps on card" and one popped up. Bid to 100 and won it. I didn't really want it after a few months so put it back up and sold it. I usually keep my random purchases though

I do this to some degree. I try to keep the collection focused but occasionally start to stray when I'm not finding things for the PC itself. Just gotta scratch that itch! Recently picked up some Posada stuff since I like his sig and he doesn't have that much out there. But I'll probably only have the odd card around and never be satisfied with the outlier-ness of it. Then I'll "re-focus" and pick up some autos from Archives thinking maybe I'll finish that run, which I ultimately know I'll not get around to finishing.

Then I look back at the collection and it's all over the place. Time to clean out again.

I go to the local shop for supplies ------------------- $100.00 spent on cards AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGG

I did this this weekend with a nice lot of Gioskar Amaya BC autos, and it caused me to not have the cash for a Denard Robinson Finest 1/1 that popped up over the weekend. This was after I already told myself a month ago that I was done buying Amaya because I had plenty.
