Nothing was hotter than the "new card" market in 1991. Stores opening up right and left; almost all of them specializing in new cards. I could go to six shows in the Detroit area on an average Sunday (I did that as part of a business trip); I could go to a show in the NY Metropolitan area almost every night of the week -- and if there was not a show -- there was an auction.

And I wanted to point this out -- for everyone who slags on Bruce for his comments -- please note that a respected hobby figure (Lew Lipset) called Bruce an hobby historian. So, I believe Bruce could add quite a bit to the board, with the understanding that he's seen many things most of us have not.

Some of his stores about meeting with collectors such as the legendary Wharton-Tiger would really add so much to everyone's knowledge.
