In collecting and life, it's not so much what you do but how seriously you take yourself.

If a rookie card collector knows the rookie card is a somewhat silly invention but it's an area where he and his friend have fun collecting, that's great. If a collector has sleepless nights and contemplates suing Beckett for not giving his card a RC designation, he's taking it too seriously.

It's fine to do something stupid if you're well aware it's stupid. It's when you take it as serious that you really look like the fool
