DavidI think some people keep their fine collections secret for a variety of reasons including, 1) They don't want to appear to be showing off, 2)Someone will inevitably say, "I know where you got that card: at Leland's for $2,000. You paid too much." .... Not that I have any espensive cards, but I don't mind showing off my stuff here and there. But I don't like people to know what I paid or what I where I go it (Want the appearance of having pulled it out of thin air). Example coversation between me and my wife:
Pam: "That's interesting. What did you pay for it?"
David: "You don't want to know."
Pam: "Sure I want to know. What did you pay?"
David: "If you really want to know, I'll tell you."
Pam: "You're right, I don't want to know."
