Comes under the adage "better to let people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and confirm it."

I met one of these smug card bros recently and it was all I could do not to bitch-slap the obnoxious off his face. I got news 'bro': I don't want to shake your hand fifteen times in a short conversation, I don't care how many Mantle cards you say you own, and you and I definitely don't know each other well enough for me to do the bro hug with you at the end. Just...go back to modern pack breaks where you belong. And all you pesky kids get off my lawn.
