Julie Vognar--tax free, and after giving some to my kids and buying a car for my husband and paying some mortgages, I DID spend nearly 100, 000 on vintage cards, here're the first ones I bought:
1> Peck and Snyder, Cincinnati
2) Old Judge portrait of Radbourn
3) N338-2 Ewing
4) Old Judge HOFers
5) PSA 2 T206 Eddie Plank (subasequestly sold to bid on Walker photo and PSA 6 N162 Kelly)
5) N162 baseball players
6) N300 baseball players.
I only planned the first two, and things I wanted cropped up unexpectedly, so I traded off.
I NEVER considered a Wagner, a 4BH Kelly, a N167 HOFer. (Or, actually, a Joe Jackson Boston Store--about my favorite card--I mistakenly thought I couldn't afford it). )
But what I'm saying is that with a finite amount of money under 200,000, there were cards I did not allow myself to persue, because I thought they were too rich for my collection, and would severely limit my buying of other cards. I think everyone does this. Whatver your buying power, you are aware that there are somew things you will never have--unless your bujying power is in the millions.
