I enjoy mocking those who deserve it.
Turning a little money into a lot of money doesn't mean I won't mock, it just gives me more opportunities to mock. You can make a billion dollars selling these things with their fancy little labels and slabs, I will still think they are a cause for mockery, just as I mock every successive owner of the Wagner I posted earlier. Worth millions? Evidently. Mock-able? Abso-f**king-lutely.
Just because you got an opinion seller to give you an opinion does not make that opinion valid to me.
Just because the two of you are attempting to push :
It's type 1
It's original
It's authentic
It's one of a kind
Down our throats does not mean I believe it is all (or any) of those things.
I believe there is a chance that you made it, which would then make it three of those things.
Hitting pause on my mocking for a moment, I have four individual questions for you, each very similar so I will pose them as one question :
Regarding the Alomar item : how do you, or the opinion seller, know that it is each of those things? Type 1. Original. Authentic. One of a kind.
Answer those questions and I will potentially stop my mocking of you and anybody else who thinks these things are, as you say, a "New Photographic Collectible".

PS - look at all the weird stuff that I collect, I am as mock-able as anybody on this site
