Curiosity Question

[tyler91999]

How much do you spend on cards typically per month? Or how many boxes do you buy per month if you dont want to say an amount. Or you could answer both. Just curious

It really can vary for me. It all depends on what PC cards show up on Ebay or what products come out.

For example my past 60 days activity on Ebay shows a little over 2,300 spent. I would say that is an above average amount for me, because several 1/1's have shown up the past 3 weeks that pushed my spending up. In addtion Absolute and DCm both cam out in the last 4-6 weeks which pushed my wax spending up considerable too, probably around another 2,300.

I would say I average closer to 1,000 total a month. With the exception of a few months a year when the bigger products come out. Summer spending is usually way down for me, around 200 or so a month.

i just checked my ebay and it says i have spent 200 past 31 days. just depends on what dillard cards come up on ebay, and the occasional garrett wolfe card i cant pass up

It goes in spurts for me. A few times a year I can't buy enough and then I kinda forget about it for a while and then I am back at it again for a few months.

It's really hard to say how much exactly but I am a low to mid collector cause I don't have thousands to spend on them.

I have been spending $150+ a month lately but I plan on cutting down for awhile and hopefully I can keep it under $100.

[Williamson82]

about one thousand a month

[27tinman]

500-600 a month

well i now realize why my bucket is so pitiful compared to others as my funds are substantially limited compared to others. i might spend 100 in 4 months time. in the past year i have purchased 4 boxes of cards and ironically out of those 4 boxes 3 did not give me the said amount of autos/gu i was to receive thus taking away my interest in buying boxes. hopefully one day i will be able to purchase more

just a tip from me to you, i hate buying boxes. they suck, younever get what you paid. you can take the money you are going to buy a box with and buy auto cards on ebay or scf, just look for deals. for example. you can buy a 100 dollar box and get a bunch of scrubs. or go buy a peyton manning auto for 50, and a couple rc auto patches for 25 each. just letting you know.

that is what i usually try to do but occasionally i like to try to open a box in hopes of pulling something amazing which has never happened. but for my son and i it is a occasional treat that doesnt last long. we both agreed after the last boxes got us nothing to stop buying those and just buy cards.
