2) In Trout's case (and a handful of other players), today's "overpay" is tomorrow's "incredible deal".

3) if you consider it a hobby and buy for the fun of owning a card you've wanted a very long time, then overpaying a bit doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.. not to me anyway.
I overpay on almost all my Trout cards. Literally almost all of them. If I want it, I'm gonna pay up. And it's okay because my overpay sets the new market for the card and with time, my overpay looks like a bargain. Just over pay it, don't trip, potato chip!
