Justifying a Big Purchase

Mike Eisenbath · #1 03-16-2023, 09:24 PM

I'm in a similar spot as the OP. Though possibly for much less money, it would be my largest single-card purchase, a significant HOFer that I want to get eventually and will keep for life. The quandary (maybe sgared by the OP) is that pulling the trigger will limit my ability to buy some other cards on my want list for a while. I'd love owning and looking at the big-ticket item, but it would be tough sitting on the sidelines for a while.

I love birthdays because I can have my cake and eat it, too. Doesn't always work easily in the hobby.

I guess I go against the grain here, but since you started with....give me some encouragement?

I would say that you are not ready to purchase this card. You need to wait until you can pull the trigger without having to ask for a boost

Just my thoughts, good luck

If you had to have it, you would have just bought it, not asked the Board I think?

That should tell you something.
