Unfortunately... every now and then I have to hit the ATM. I'd consider setting aside $20/week, but I know I'd dig into it and use it. Food happens to be one of my other true loves.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-42772780085749678232013-02-14T04:48:39.447-08:002013-02-14T04:48:39.447-08:00That's pretty good.

I've been pretty good about keeping my purchases at or around $100 each time, so it's worked for me...but every once in a while if the show has some new tables i tend to pull another $20-$40 out. My trick has been putting a $20 bill aside each week until the next show, it's like an in home no interest card savings account. Sometimes i spend that money on food...but really, who needs to eat!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-36367087657133656542013-02-13T20:26:29.764-08:002013-02-13T20:26:29.764-08:00I'm pretty good about sticking to my budget ar...I'm pretty good about sticking to my budget around 360 days per year.<br /><br />It's those four or five card show days that tend to get me a little off-track.<br /><br />Nice pickups!

I know ...Great lot of cards and great post, Fuji! <br /><br />I know the temptation to splurge on the high-calibre pieces for a PC. I still haven't pulled the trigger on adding a relic or auto card of either of the two big 2012 rookie class players I want to start collecting: RGIII and Russell Wilson (I wish I was interested in Luck, but I'm just not). <br /><br />Budget? What's that? And, why would one stick to this, budget, you mention? ; ) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-79403791932367382082013-02-13T15:12:47.575-08:002013-02-13T15:12:47.575-08:00The budget varies.
