Also in the future I wont give folks heads up about questionable cards nor should others. We will all just assume you've had offline discussions and have it all under control. How silly of me...
Perhaps I should toss you some cash each month then you would be quick to defend me if I get my feelings hurt.

From my point of view, Leon was just pointing out that Sean never said he was a collector. Reading his website I would find it hard to believe that Sean is a collector:

The latter can easily turn a profit into a loss with the illusory justification that the card will still be worth a lot when it is let go. Good investors don’t have those conversations with themselves; they buy and sell vintage baseball cards coldly and dispassionately.

Nothing wrong with Sean, but he makes it clear to me that baseball cards are only an investment to him. Nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't consider him a collector any more than a stock broker is a collector of stocks.
