1. Because it's Bruce.

2. Because of the phrasing he uses. If he simply said "I once picked up a Boston Garter for $1200...", that would be acceptable. But, instead, he says, "1912 Boston Garter Color card bought from a school teacher- non collector
after developing an 18 month acquisition plan $1200."

No one else on this board would crow about it in such a manner.

3. Because it's Bruce.

4. Because in every one of his "America's Toughest Want List" posts, he promises to pay top dollar.

5. Did I mention, because it's Bruce.
