To Gary's point, as I recall Jim Crandell got a lot of grief for not being a "true collector" despite his 20,000+ cards because he collected high grade ones.

Jim Crandell got a lot of grief for a lot of things and deservedly so for many of them...I don't agree that he is not a true collector though, his passion for collecting is pretty obvious. I think there is some bias against the registry guys because a lot of people don't view collecting as a competition. I still don't think it has anything to do with their wealth.
