There have been a lot of times in my collecting that I have come across a card I had absolutely no interest in but found at a good price so I've bought it, knowing that I was only buying it to sell later so that I could buy something I really wanted. I don't do it often because it's an annoying and circuitous route to collecting. But it does happen.
On the "flip" side, I recently won a Roberto Clemente signed ball on eBay that I really wanted. Then I saw a card on the BST that had I known would have been offered in the future I would have saved my money for. So I tried to sell my Clemente ball but was unable to. Still a win-win if you ask me.
