Default reasons for buying at an auction

Posted By: Dave Williams

As stated elegantly by others already....

If your goal is to be the #1 guy on the registry, and you pay thousands for your cards, you might be in trouble.

If you are like 99% of the rest of us, just buying what we like, not trying to compete with the mega rich, enjoying the hobby, not using pieces of cardboard to fund the 401K, you've got little or nothing to worry about.

So enjoy the auction catalogs, bid on what you want, and if you're goal is to be number 1 guy on the registry, then you're concerned about altered cards.

I'm not, because they aren't what I collect.
