As it happens, I never got around to selling them, and the price lately went up a bit, to my pleasant surprise. This will actually help pay off all the times I tried to speculate on a card and failed (Elves of Deep Shadow are being reprinted in Ravnica? Surely that means copies from The Dark will go up! ).
There's nothing wrong with this, I do this all the time. I bought x3 Counterbalance for $1.50 total two weeks ago, no way I won't make a profit on them. I guess the main example of what I'm getting at is people who either just buy lots of cards just to horde them or people who go around buying 12 playsets of something just to horde until their "price Z" is reached. Sure you could argue that doing that is just the natural evolution of my counterbalance example, but I draw a morally considerable line at a certain point.

That isn't very logical, but this is all opinion. It doesn't have to be logical.
