I hear ya. I've never viewed my collecting as an "investment" anyway, so if I later find out that I paid above market price for something, but it was still within my budget and I'm happy with the card - I may feel dumb for a few minutes, but it's usually never a problem to move on and still be happy. Such was the case with this '70 Ryan card I just bought. It was a PSA 6.5 (now liberated from the case due to an edge ding I wanted to smooth out). I was looking at auction close results for PSA and realized I paid on the high end of the scale. There were some 7's that had sold for slightly less than I paid for my 6.5. Oh well - one, it's not a 6.5 anymore - and two, I am happy with the card. I will move on, such is life.
