I'm out of work, and probably spend around $75-$100/mo. I just have a cycle of buying and selling that kinda keeps rotating for now.

RE: $$$ How much do you spend on packs/boxes/blasters/ebay each month?
This was a pretty big year for me but It really depended on when I was working. January to March I think I spent about $300 and then In May maybe 200.
I then Stopped for 3 and a half months and then proceeded to spend $500 in the last few weeks. But now I predict I am done until Contenders comes out, maybe longer.
As for re-investing, I usually ask what my lcs needs to sell whether it's in store on the bay, and I'll trade for those cards, usually Suh, Best, and Sanders. after that I go in and trade the cards en masse for boxes.
Also, I don't buy singles, or anything from ebay, I'm a pretty strict break/pull and trade guy. Plus I buy older stuff usually.

I think it's $600ish for me, singles, team sets, autos for my Jets collection. Almost finished my buying of 2001-2010 inserts for the teamsets I work on, can't find about 20+ of them, low print number, non patch, probably never going to be listed on ebay again.
Those Joe Namath & Mark Sanchez rookie autos don't seem to be getting any cheaper, that's for sure. Got almost all of the 2000-2011 autos I want, but the search goes on

I'm small time myself....I spend no more than $100 a month. If I could afford more I would but it is, what it is.

I keep track of all my expenses using Mint.com(great site) so I book all my purchases and sales(eBay) to a budgeted hobby account. I usually budget about 200-350 a month, but some months I'm actually negative(meaning I sold more than bought). However usually I am down on a month, so its usually around 150-350 range, sometimes higher.
