Judge Dred (Fred)Bruce,
I think that Jay is trying to point out that many of the posts that you initiate seem to relate to collectors/investors that have seemlessly unlimited amounts of funds to pursue this hobby.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that there are a lot of collectors that only dream about having the resources that others have, yet their passion to collect is no less than those that are blessed with a lot of hobby funding. Those less fortunate collectors (myself included) like to think that we are great collectors because our passion for this hobby is immense. We love the history of the game and these little pieces of card board are the ties that bind us to the history. Whether the cards are beaters or absolute specimens they are what they are.
The bottom line is that people may not understand your basic posts. I do believe that it bothers some people because what little they do have is made to seem even more insignificant and their stature in the hobby minimally exceptional.
