The best collections in the world are bought, not earned through love of the hobby or education. Many people that collect baseball cards have "little mans complex" and must have the biggest and the best of everything, and then show it off to the world. Hence the PSA set registry, and the staggering prices at auction.

If you are a collector on a limited budget, as most are, try to not get overwhealmed by others purchasing $50,000 a month on cards and then showing everybody. The happiest you will ever be as a collector is by finding something that you want for yourself and not comparing your collection to other people's.
