Enjoying this thread and the opinions on framing - have been going back and forth myself on what to do with some paintings, although they are (sadly) not quite as nice as Graig's!
And not that Scott really needs any defending, but add me to the list of folks who think he is a great asset to the forum.
I guess this really gets to the heart of what it means to be a collector. If people collected things that no one else wanted, I guess that would make them hoarders (I think sometimes I might be bordering on that anyway!). I know that in my modest collection, it is always more fun to show or share with someone else who appreciates the beauty/scarcity of any new addition.
To see Scott's pursuit and enjoyment of his targeted collection brings me joy, not envy. There have been posters on this forum who seemed to take great pleasure in trying to make others feel inferior with their collection - I think it's pretty clear to see that Scott is not one of them.
