Never at the time. I always try and stay in the mode of getting things in the preferred condition.
However, I seem to have this habit that when I complete (or nearly complete) a set, I tend to go back and upgrade to some of the higher quality examples.

All the time.
Have only tried to upgrade one so far, and the graded PSA 6 example in hand actually didn't look better than my PSA 4. Still can't decide which to keep. The set avg is around 7.75, so in theory, I should keep the 6 so that it's more in line with the rest of the set. Or, I should just get rid of both and find an 8

Yes on the type card collection, as to a placeholder. No, to the 2 sets being collected, T205 and Delong. Need 2 more Delong after these new pick ups. Not placeholders

The only set I'm currently working on completing is the 1953 Topps set. I am 41 cards short at this point.
What remains are SP cards which are somewhat pricy in the condition I prefer them in - EX/MT. I am enjoying the 'hunt' too much to 'settle' for a lesser condition card just to finish up the set. A few years ago, I finished Topps sets 1954-1980. Upon completion, I felt an emptiness...suddenly, the sets did not mean as much. I sold all but the 1954-thru-1956 sets. I only started back with the 1953 set (I had previously amassed 175 of the 276 total cards) and have added another 60. I am also trying very hard to stay with a budget on these...while working to pay of the two high-dollar pre-war cards I purchased in August. I am not addicted...I can stop any time...
