Thinking about trades like this really makes a lot more sense and makes me feel like I will be a little more relaxed when pulling the trigger on future trades 🙂

This concept of reducing risk by knowing what you can move a card for is one that good and aspiring speculators should integrate into their decisions. Well done.

As a buyer for a dealer I have to view the company’s money this way already – though our worst case price is probably closer to the lowest price a dealer had them going out at than the highest buy price. We risk even less when we pay up for hot standard cards, but because we buy and sell many more cards than a grinder would we don’t have the luxury of only buying cards with the lowest risk the way a grinder can.
