You have no first hand insight into Josh’s feelings he had when he collected this set. The very way you just claim he didn’t enjoy them because the way he collected them is insulting. Jake I bought my Obak sets in REA a few years ago one big swoop…are you now going to tell folks I don’t enjoy them or there’s no way I can enjoy them as much as say Tbob (Hi Bob) who did it more card by card than I did? |
You're right. I can't say for sure what his feelings towards collecting are. Perhaps he enjoys card collecting more then you, I or anyone else on this forum. All what I do know is my feelings on collecting. Which I believe is evidently different than Mr. Josh's way.
In Judaism there is an ancient text called the Talmud. It's over 2500 pages long and takes Seven and a half years to study, one page at a time. At the end of each cycle an event known as Siyum Hashas occurs. A celebration where people get together for prayer. The last cycle ended last August where about 90,000 people were at Meadowlands Stadium for the celebration. Does this mean the end of your journey, not even close. For when one cycle ends, a new one begins. Study of the Talmud should take your whole life and then some.
The brevity of the two do differ so perhaps the comparison isn't 100 percent suitable. I take the Talmudic route of collecting and that's what suits me. Others have different methods which is just fine as well. As we are all aiming for the same singular goal.
