Part and parcel to the Hobby, I gather. I purchased, in a private sale, a really hard to find type card. I paid over $2,000. When I decided to part with my cards, this particular card sold, in auction, for less than $1,000.
Since I use disposable money for my collection, it wasn't the end of the world. Annoying, but not something that will bankrupt me. At the end of the day, I enjoyed owning the card and view the loss as a cost of deriving excitement from the chase.
