Although I know the seller quite well I have never been under an illusion that he cares anything at all about the hobby, except how many pennies he can squeeze out of it. He makes no bones about it either. That being said I don't think selling these holders is good at all. Kind of like that Bubblebathgirl dude selling the empty wrappers AND gum from the 1970s or 1980s products. Not cool.

Well said Leon. Both Jim and bubblegumgirl are in it for themselves and nothing else. They dont care about the hobby. Its a fact that the speed of light is faster than the speed of sound and thats why some people appear bright, until you hear them speak.

I think you'd be surprised at how many people who claim to "care about the hobby" care most about what the hobby can do for them.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Selling and collecting the wrappers from card products is not a problem...selling the gum with them is right on par with selling these cracked cases.

I've long had this person's username in my blocklist, forgot why, now it's all coming back to me.
