Default This board COULD be so much better!

It's pretty arrogant to assume that "rich" people would be attacked on this board because others are jealous of what they can't have. I'm not jealous of anyone's PSA 8 1951 Bowman set-- couldn't care less.

Jay's point of 12:49 PM is exactly right: nobody here is "attacking" Hal, Jay Miller, or most others with fantastic megabucks collections. Why? Because they don't appear to think of themselves as superior collectors because they can afford more. And that's just exactly how most of Jim Crandell's posts do come across. To Jim "Advanced" equals monetary value.

That's the long and short of the issue, right there.

All this "class warfare" stuff is beside the point, and a bit silly compared to what's happening elsewhere in the country (not that Barry's initial post in this thread wasn't painfully acute in many ways)
