I'm with Section103, it seems wrong to tie your collectibles pucrhases/investments to your income. If anything it should be tied to your total worth.
That being said I have "No Limits" which goes over well with the wife

no limit
For cards that have been on the wantlist forever, I will overpay, for the T202 set I just started collecting, I will bide my time and get them for the right price. Desperation and impatience are stretching the collecting budget.

overwhelming results
The, as of right now with me included, 80.95% that have no limits is very telling. You guys must be addicts or something...

I probably spend around 5% of my take home on cards and another 5% on other stuff like the occasional concert and CD's, books, etc that I enjoy reading and listening to. I don't have all that many other interests outside the family so I guess I'm in the recommended range for non-billionaires! Plus a lot of my hobby fun is researching and writing so the $ spent are secondary.
I'd love to spend more on the hobby but I have two teens coming up on college so a lot of dough goes toward saving for that right now and I buy some items in lower grade than I would like as savings are a priority and my card tastes are somewhat esoteric and /or expensive in higher grades. If I had unlimited funds I don't know what I would spend on cards as I think I would hit a point where I felt I should be giving equal amounts (or more) to charity instead of blowing it on cards as there is some major suffering in this world. Just my opinion, everybody has their own take. Last edited by toppcat; 07-28-2010 at 07:36 PM.
