I always feel a little let down after receiving one of these mega catalogs. It seems like there is just an endless parade of super high end stuff. (And some of that is no doubt fresh from the rehab center high end.) Feels like a bit of a shell game sometimes. You own some cool stuff and it feels cool and then you turn around and there is torrent of more and more and more and more very month.

I know the answer is buy what you enjoy and enjoy what you buy. But it does feels sometimes like one long never ending parade. And what's so special about a parade if you have one every two weeks.

Go for actual rarity over condition rarity. For some issues you're lucky to find one or two copies of a card in a calendar year.

Very true. I have a player contract 1 of 1 and it's the coolest thing I have. Ditto for a few cards.

What, exactly, is the definition of �new to the hobby�? I see that thrown around a lot, but it seems completely subjective.
