There is no getting around the fact that prewar cards are expensive. At times this hobby really seems like it is meant only for people with a lot more discretionary income than myself.

I think the key for me is trying to be as patient as possible. Every week there will be good materials available on ebay or in the auctions. There will be times when you feel that moment may be your only opportunity to acquire that super rare card if you don't bid strong immediately.

What I have learned over the years is that this is almost NEVER the case. Rare cards will turn up over and over again. Even one of a kind cards will turn up again. If not, there will TONS of other good stuff out there for you to buy. There is no need to ever overextend yourself for this hobby.
