Here's another thread. Link. I could look for more, I guess, but it's a theme I've seen before.

Ah, I see what you're referring to now...I think the bias is against wealthy collectors entering our hobby and putting together a collection at breakneak speed...I agree there is a bias against that, but I don't think it has anything to do with their wealth but rather how they approach the hobby that most everyone here has spent years dedicated to. It's more of a question of their dedication IMO.

I don't think there is anything wrong with Mr Kendrick's collection other than I find it boring for reasons I already stated in this thread.....of course if he were a member here I wouldn't say that publicly.

I just checked that out, the guy built a t206 set then sold it... Who cares? That's not a very good example Gary,
