I’m with Adam and Eddie, first rule, second rule and third rule - collect what you enjoy.
Unless you’re flipping as a way to pay the bills, don’t get too hung up on the money. (Oh no, my cards have only gone up x% while others have gone up 5x%) Everything will have its ebbs and flows. Lastly, if there’s something you’d really enjoy but it’s a couple bucks more than you thought, get it. Very, very few purchases I regret but many more I wish I’d pulled the trigger on.

Let's put it this way. If anyone ever finds a 1981 Topps George Brett card with the right two letters written in black crayon on the back I will pay almost anything to get it back.
Personal meaning is everything. Collect what means something to you.

1) Buy the card not the holder
2) You'll regret the cards you didn't buy WAY more than the ones you "paid too much for" at the time.
