I completely forgot about all of the times I paid full book or overpaid for a card (or cards) I needed for a set.<br /><br />Zippy - When he hits the show... you'll hit the jackpot. That's one heck of a collection you have.<br /><br />Marc - I like the way you think. I'm all about averaging out the cost over the long haul.<br /><br />J. Meeks - No need to be embarrassed. You're among plenty of other who have overpaid. We're here to support each other.<br /><br />TLC - For as long as I can remember... I always factor shipping into my cost... so I've overpaid from both angles.<br /><br />Brady - I'm still looking to add his '65 card to my collection. Maybe I'll find it at Serramonte.<br /><br />Mr. Scott - Agree. Positive thinking goes a long way.<br /><br />GCA - I might have shaken my head before... but now that I've thought about it. I've been in your shoes a few times in my life.<br /><br />John Miller - Thanks!<br /><br />Corky - Didn't realize he doesn't sign anymore. Thanks for the info.<br /><br />Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-63621090933694775582016-08-12T11:19:09.951-07:002016-08-12T11:19:09.951-07:00I have paid over on a couple of occasions just so ...I have paid over on a couple of occasions just so I could add a card I really wanted to my collection. Bob Uecker is no longer signing so that is a pretty rare find.

The guy quoted me a price that was a dollar per card or more. I was so giddy to get them that I had to go to the ATM for the cash. Most of the cards were 25¢ commons or less, but I just had to have them that time. I've learned to walk away now....GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-18621322652362039752016-08-11T04:51:14.522-07:002016-08-11T04:51:14.522-07:00No matter how much I try to stop it I will overpay...No matter how much I try to stop it I will overpay for a handful of cards a year.
