You guys don't understand... and it reminds me of a Wes Westrum quote... what a smart man, played under Durocher, who learned from Frisch, who learned from Mr. McGraw. The quote in a moment. |

Steve- I think people hate being classified and I didn't like being judged. I honestly don't care about the value and I'm not a fool for not accessing any sort of value on my collection. Generalizations cause out of control threads...like this one. |

Sometimes its not so much the message as it is the delivery. To my way of thinking, it really doesn't matter whatever someone else feels about graded or undgraded, who has the "best" or the "most valuable" collection, blah, blah, blah. That's they're opinion and they're entitled to it whether I agree with it or not. Where the acrimony seems to come in is with the tone of some of the posts, or at least the perception (or, arguably, misperception) of that tone. |

I strongly disagree with Bruce's suggestion that people who are critical of well-heeled collectors buying PSA 9 slabs are lazy muddlers complaining about people who work hard and have gotten ahead in the world. Let's cut through the self-congratulatory Calvinist rhetoric: the guys who were pioneers and whose collections would be worth fortunes today weren't rich. Timing is everything, my friend. 25 years ago people handed me boxes and bags of old cards for free just to get them out of their attics and garages. If I was 25 years older and was spending the equivalent fraction of my income that I spend now on cards starting in 1980, I'd have an immeasurably more complete, complex and diverse collection than the one I've put together now, and my collection now doesn't suck by any measure (monetary, breadth or otherwise). |

I think someone should be able to pass a little expertise on graded card collections or the challenges of pursuing a graded card collection, and likewise, graded card collectors can learn a lot from the likes of those who mostly pursue raw collections on this board. We should respect the challenges both raw and graded card collectors have to face. |

Thanks to all but its obvious the only way Jay and now Tim(who is he)will stop attacking me is if they wear themselves out. They are so crazed with jealousy and hatred that they are getting delusional. |

I would also urge everyone to read Chris's original post--Jay and others are trying to change the subject from the way they attacked me in prior posts for publishing estimates on Merkel's collection. |

This is funny to me. I like graded cards. Nearly all my cards are graded. I love the cards, but am certainly aware of the value in the cards. |

many other people have great collections. One who I am pretty good friends with whose collection not many at all know about. Another is the owner of the Just So Young whose collection is suppose to be top notch. |

Exactly, Jim why don't you enlighten us on the WIWAG scandal? I am sure you have a lot of knowledge on that topic and it might be helpful to board members. |

Condescending comment? What I am saying is Ihave been posting regularly for 2 weeks--I will have more to say--just give me time--I can't use up all my good posting ideas immediately. I'll give people a chance to calm down first. |

I hate to break the little party up but I think everyone has had time to speak their minds. Let's go ahead and put a halt to it....as much as some of it is kind of funny it's just like anything else, too much and it can be bad. Bottom line is that this board will never be Utopia. We are passionate about our collecting and it shows. If you collect graded or ungraded, expensive or not, new or old, it really is about baseball and the way it used to be...and the little masterpieces that help us remember it. No ones really right or wrong here...Ya'll get some sleep..regards....moderator dude |
