What works well for me, is that I know a few vintage dealers in my area that don't mind trading. So basically what I do is offer trade and cash for cards I really need. This weekend, I traded some '52 Topps cards for a '55 Bowman Mantle and a '33 Goudey Lefty O'Doul. I threw in $300. Otherwise, it would have cost me around $650.

It's like they say cash is king. Even when I do have the cash, I don't like spending it. Save your cash for the cards you simply have to have. Other times, be creative, and try to get by with using little cash.
