You've spent over a thousand dollars on trading cards?
I'm definitely impressed.

The card game I play will cost you a bomb. Forming a decent deck in 1 series will cost you around $300~$400 average.
Not to mention that there are Seiyuu signed cards. Most of them are stamped on the card, but they're still cost a lot..
How expensive? Well, Nana Mizuki Signed cost 25,000 yen..

Real marker signed will cost you more of course, but in the end it still depends on the popularity of the Seiyuu.

I'm still wanting to beat AnA over doing a Japan style of release for Madoka though splitting it into three volumes 80 bucks a piece for LE : / bankrupting me man. Also Fate/Zero took all my entertainment funds away for the month :P

I usually don't buy much, most of it comes from box sets and manga, and I've been buying manga since 2006, so the collection is pretty huge. If I bought anything else it'd just sit around and get dusty, but I'm still hoping to get at least one figure. ....If I had millions and millions of dollars, I would most definitely NOT use it to buy anime merchandise.
