I have never intentionally bought any of his cards specifically, only those that have come in collections I have purchased. So, I have a number of his cards in my sets already. I am having trouble getting past my dislike of the player to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars for each of his cards that I do not have in the 1950s and 1960s. I mean when you spend 1K on a card - most people would like to be happy about it, right?
Anyone else ever have this problem? If so, how have you resolved it?
(Player and team have been intentionally omitted, although many could probably figure it out easily, do to desire not to offend any other board members.

For me it was the umpires in the 55 Bowman set. Not only are they umpires but they are the most expensive cards in the set besides a couple mega stars and a super star rookie.
I bought them to complete the set but honestly cringed when I bought most of them.
