I know of very few who don't collect something. Maybe not what they sell, but something. You really can't stay in a business like this if you aren't a collector at heart. It is just one of those things you have to love to make it worthwhile and to connect with your customers. I've always thought that collectors are born, not made. I was collecting when I was five and dealing cards when I was in 4th grade. I had some older kids who supplied me with cards from their collection that I would flip for cards or cash to kids at school. I envy the guys who manage to take the Hobby and make it a full time business. It undoubtedly has its down side, but my worst day at a card show is still better than my best day at the office.
