now that you big spenders have driven the card up and bought yours at a high price, the rest of us will get ours for $5 after he lowers his opening bid. the card is novelty more than anything much like the oversized cards. I will but those at $2 or $3 but not $10.
oh, you are wrong about the envy part. cards are cool and you have a cool collection, but nothing to envy over. My one of something is just as good as your 8 of the same thing.

the magnets are a perfect example - anyone of us could have bid $10 and justified it for 6 magnets that nobody else has. now, none of us will probably bid on a similar lot again. if one comes up, it will probably not sell or sell for an opening bid of $1. now, everyone has one and if you want more they will sell cheap. its when you drive up a price on a card you already have that doesnt make since. I call it it greed & you call it envy??????? they are not the same thing. You are right about living in a free country. you can buy whatever you want at whatever price. my point is simple (to me at least) in that you can have almost as many cards at a fraction of the price by working together.

yes once again you are correct as always.and no i do not have all the cards i say i have,so i blocked them so you will not have anymore card envy,now all you can do is watch when you keep loosing auctions that i keep racking up.so you may as well collect something else as Mike has turned to doing.and yes i am a sucker and will forever be.bye!

I do collect other players........ I would rather pay more for a 1/1 card of another player than overpay for a Juan #ed to 50. It isnt that we dont have the money, we are just not willing to "overpay". As it stands, we will keep you paying more for a lot of items, all of witch you could have had much cheaper if we were not bidding.

For someone with so much courage for big spenders who have driven cards up, you seems to enjoy driven up the 1998 Topps Tek to my limit. I just wonder, if you already know what's my limit why don't you outbid me? You are not interest in the cards? Just want me to pay as much as possible for them? Remember what happen when you trow rocks when your roof is made of crystal. :rolleyes:

now that you big spenders have driven the card up and bought yours at a high price, the rest of us will get ours for $5 after he lowers his opening bid. the card is novelty more than anything much like the oversized cards. I will but those at $2 or $3 but not $10.

you could always remove your bid if you dont want to pay that much.... if you want every card, including duplicates, its gonna cost you.

I have to admit that I don't get any of this B.S greed. There should not be a problem with any of us getting a card with a print run greater than 10 cards for a cheap price.
