When you have that one player you collect and have passion for thats a feeling a regualr collector can not feel. And in my case when you look on ebay and can go page after page knowing you have all those cards.

Although it becomes a nuance to go through all those pages. Now I just check every hour or so under "newly listed" lol! Need my hourly fix

RE: IS COLLECTING ADDICTIVE?
I just check newly listed and very low-numbered stuff. I never understood why people pay a lot for easy to find new stuff for their PC's. A card that will sell for a buck or two in 2 months, people buy for 8 and 10. Patience is a virtue with me.

That's why I usually go for the common/base/high print runs of my Quizz collection a few months later, but sometimes you never know. I have not seen another SAGE Autograph Gold #/200 Quizz since the 1 I let go because I thought, hey, there's 199 left, I'll get another one later. Its been months.....

yeah my biggest regret is letting up a 2004 leaf certified materials emerald quad relic auto /5. it went for like $45 and that was just way too much for me. take into consideration the mostly ive spent on any card is $20. Id pay $60 for that card now though.
