Flipping cards to buy more cards for your collection, I totally see and I totally understand that. But I see more people in this hobby that are in it got the pure art of money making versus collecting.
Painting all modern guys with a single brush is, IMO, a mistake. Plenty of modern collectors with passion. It's funny, your argument used to be made back in the day about graded collectors, they were somehow inferior morally and less passionate.
