I'm no flipper, but I'm DEFINITELY a collector who flips. My goal is a PSA 3 or better Plank, I guess I'm flipping my AUTH Plank because in the end I felt like I was settling when I won it (again, never thought my bid would win). I tried to convince myself that it was a great enough deal that I could be happy with it, and it is an intoxicatingly beautiful card, but it isn't what my heart was set on. Not sure I'll ever completel the monster, but I'll continue my slow go at the big end of it.
I rarely spend any money that I haven't already put into the hobby already, just turn out cards occasionally to fund new purchases. That looks like just a flipper to the outside world because no one gets to go to the bank with me to see what I've had for decades...
