Seems to me there are people in every hobby who want to distinguish themselves from others as somehow being purer or more authentic in their collecting motives. I just don't get why that's important.
Jay Leno is a multi-millionaire who loves cars. He can buy the rarest cars out there and never drive them if he desires. Does that make him any less of a car collector / car lover than my friend down the street who has been restoring the love of his life in the garage for the last 25 years. I don't think so.
I am sure most of the oft-malligned "investors" in the hobby love baseball and love baseball cards as much as people who go through the dollar boxes at shows. I know a bunch of them. And they won't shut up about baseball cards.
