Overpaying for your Holy Grail?

Re: Overpaying for your Holy Grail?

As long as you can afford it and you will not have any short term problems, if it means that much to you, I would buy the item. If you have been thinking about buying it for awhile, then it probably is worth purchasing. $400 in the long run is not going to break your account as long as you have a decent job.

Honestly, for me, there have been many times that I have considered purchasing something, but few times I have totally regretted not buying something in the end. With regards to game used items, I may have rather purchased a different jersey than the one I purchased. For instance, I would have rather picked the Geoff Geary Red Barons jersey instead of purchasing the Robinson Tejeda Red Barons jersey, but I do not consider it to be a total regret.

Keep this idea in mind as well. Would you rather purchase something else with that money (especially if you are on a tight budget)?

Odds are you're not going to get a second shot at something like that. If it's something you're planning on keeping for your personal collection, go for it.

Buy It!!!!!!!

I think too many people concern themselves with resale value...The hobbby should be on some level, for pure enjoyment and if you have the opportunity to get something that means something to you, and is not going to put you in finacial harship, Buy it...I just did this with a Drew Bledsoe Cowboys jersey offered to me from a member of this forum...I posted an Items wanted and got a reply with a price that was absolutely fair, but was the most I would have ever paid for an item, but I thought about it for all of one hour and bought it and never regreted it...I will NEVER sell this jersey so I am glad I got it.

Re: Overpaying for your Holy Grail?

Just my 2 cents.....if it's a Grail, is their really such thing as overpaying?

I always have the following question on my mind during a purchase, especially if it is a keeper:

"When it's on my wall, will my first thought be I paid too much or Damn fine piece of lumber!"
