Im right around there too, i dont buy much graded stuff though so i can make 200 hundred go along way picking up 1969 topps baseball and football cards in exmint or so condition. The only ones i plan to shell out money for are the Mantle, Ryan, and Jackson rookie in 7s, so until then my 200 or so goes quite a long ways.
Ironiclly, I rarely sell cards. Recently, I have been trying to sell stuff to clean out my house. With the hoilidays coming up, extra cash and a cleaner house is not a bad deal.
I have a fairly static leisure/hobby budget of $300-350. per month. Sometimes that's in drips and drabs, sometimes in bigger increments.
That's usually PSA cards, but I do pick up supplies now and then, plus the occasional book or DVD (recent purchases of Sports Illustrated's The Baseball Book and that new book about Curt Flood interrupted my card buying for a week or so.)
As per current plans, sometime in January I'm going to pony up a yearly membership fee and actually join the club, mainly to display my stuff.
I go in cycles: 1 month could be a couple grand, another a few hundred, and sometimes not one single penny.

So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Everything I buy is always hockey related. Mostly it is on my 79 set or ice scripts set but also on autographed cards as well. One of my recent pickups was the beliveau in my signature.
