[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3007950, member: 1765"]That's pretty much where I am with a lot of stuff. Classic Commems you can do that way, since the coin you want is out there and not super hard to find, as is an upgrade later if you decide you want it, unless you're looking at top-of-the-registry stuff. The other time I'll fit between 2 and 3 is when it becomes apparent that the coin I want is not available, so I adjust my expectations downward when I spot something perfectly acceptable at a lower level. You'll find plenty of type 1 collectors (fill that hole now) in this category, where the opportunity to buy a super rare variety doesn't come up often enough for you to be able to stay on the sideline if you want one in your collection.
