I was a fool for busting 89 Topps Hockey and then trusting PSA to grade it. They're a scam company, IMO.
Sure, we all care about value to some extent - it's always nice to get what we pay for something.

I believe, totally just my opinion, "true collectors" are those who collect purely for the fun of the hobby and don't have a dime at stake.
This is why you are impossible to comment back and for with.
In 1990 when Frank Thomas got hot I wanted his cards but I also wanted to find them cheaper than they were being listed in the Beckett. It is just human nature and the thrill of the chase to try and win financially.
I got some grades back from PSA today. Many lower than what I wanted. It happens but when it costs $10 a card you better believe I care what they grade.
