Permanent Collection Cards - rate of acquisition

[gracecollector]

Just curious to see how many cards per month, on average, you purchase that you have no plans to ever resell. Cards you plan on keeping in your Permanent Collection.

I picked 11-25 since I only buy stuff for the perm collection. I would guess that the poll will end up on a very low count since we are very prospect driven.

On a side note you may want to make 0 an option.

Thanks - meant to do that originally. It reset votes when I did it though - so you may have to re-vote.

I put myself at 6-10. Getting hard to find stuff for my PCs I don't already have.

Also prospectors don't usually vote in these types of polls.

Its almost impossible to find a Denker item I dont have so probably 1 a month if that.

I chose 3-5, which is obviously why I'm losing the pc collection bracket. I just can't justify finding a $.50 single on eBay and paying $2.50-$3 for shipping. I've used Beckett Marketplace to my advantage but even then it gets difficult to find dealers that carry multiple cards to help ease the shipping cost.

With relic cards getting harder and harder to find for me, I have turned to finishing up my run of Topps sets, and I am not starting to look into getting more into vintage sets. I have thought about starting the 1941 Playball set, but I discovered that I had a stack of about 30-40 1956 Topps, so I might just start that set, should be some fun. Don't ya think?!

 

[subject to change]

With my want list of certified Pirate autos dwindling, and very few Jack Wilson cards being listed, I add somewhere in the 6-10 range a month, usually on the lower end of that.

If you factor in the addition of Pirate autos TTM, I probably add somewhere closer to 15-20 new cards a month to my PC.

 

[Seiya]

1-2, which is basically the amount of cards i buy per month.

 

[brouthercard]

I'm only able to pull a permanent collection card about once a year.

 

[Gwynn545]

I guess around 11-25, some months 50+, and some only 1 or 2... so I averaged!

 

[jay1065]

All of the cards I purchase are for my permanent collection. On average, I would say 6-10 per month.

 

[Pine Tar]

for me I don't really have permanent collection per say.

 

[George_Calfas]

Selected 1-2, however there have been stretches were I have went months without finding a PC item.

 

[EricChavezCollector3]

I used to average a little over 1 card per day. I am probably down to about 6-10 cards a month from this point forward.

 

[blitzerlover]

Probably 3-5.
