Just how much do we spend?
I was just going through my Ebay Purchase history and my comc history and am disgusted ha...I have spent enough on colberts the past 8 years to buy a decent car ha. I am sure if you looked through yours in detail you would be shocked as well...some of us are crazy lol. If I resold my collection I would get about .001 percent of my investment back and I realized that I have paid more money in shipping overall than the actual cards. If you are a presidential candidate and you want my vote get me free shipping and help me out on my ebay final value fees! lol

Thats basically all you can do! Cause not buying cards is not in my vocabulary. I need to go to sports cards anonymous

RE: Just how much do we spend?
lol just from all the ebay bucks threads I can actually say ive spent way less than the rest,but I just started back last year so that will prob change.I know when I first started I was buying like crazy and didnt know any better but ha now im so conservative in just buying anything that I debate buying a card I need for 99 cent when shipping is 3 bucks lol.Since Contenders is coming out next week im sure to drop a little money for my one and only cam auto

you sir are a god. I spend greatly more but 99% of my buying is for store inventory...but my colberts still break the bank...you dont think much when spending $5 on a card then you realize your bidding on 20 cards at 5 a piece.

I am absolutely positive I would go smoke myself in the backyard if I added up the money I have spent on niner cards over the last 3 years. I have calmed down a lot in the last 6 months but thats only because I have a huge majority of all the cards I want.

I just started this year and between online breaks, cases, boxes, singles, and ebay.... I am truly disgusted at the amount I've spent.
My Patrick Peterson collection alone has cost me an absurd amount of money.

Since 2004, probably enough to pay 1/3 of my home. Disgusting, I then ask myself how in the world did I get into this again.
