I think there are a lot more collectors who are also flippers here than you might think. Most of my cards which I bought on ebay, auctions on-line, shows and bst stay in my collection but when you spot a great lot and can break it down and sell it card by card and then plow the profits in to more cards you collect and keep, what's wrong with that? If I spot a very underpriced highly desirable card I might buy it, even though I have one in my collection, knowing that down the road it can be trade bait or sold to get a card I really need. I think a lot of us do that and we can still retain the mantle of "collector." I don't think a collector is someone who just keeps 100% of what he buys forever. Not all of us are independently wealthy and making money by selling some cards in order to buy other cards helps level the old playing field sometime.
