Then there's of course the process of playing with the cards I brought, finding out they're not as great as I thought they would be when giving them a test drive, and then having to repeat the process to fine-tune the decks that I have.

Currently the most expensive card I own is a Lion's Eye Diamond, which is priced at around $75-$80 bucks. And if you think that's crazy, there's a lot of older cards that go for hundreds.
this reminds me of a neverending argument between me and one of my friends, he whines that i spend hundreds of dollars on virutal items, and i whine back that he's no better with spending hundreds of dollars on magic cards :p
