It's a combination of collecting for a long time, putting together a pretty big collection (that's subjective of course), and knowing a ton about the hobby and the history of what you collect. An advanced collector is the total package.

But where in the world is there in the world, a man so extraordinaire?

Funny thing this topic comes up now.

I literally just got done getting advice and gaining knowledge from a main poster here.

I was so upset that I lost out on an auction that I wanted sooooo bad.

After talking to him, I found out the cards were fakes. I am so at ease now.

Thanks to the advanced guys on this board!!!!

Default You know you are an advanced collector when...
you scroll through 192 listings per page on eBay in about 10 seconds flat because you don't see anything new, interesting, priced right, or even on your want list.

In that time you also spotted all the reprints or fakes and don't even need to go back and double check because you are not just a little sure, but absolutely positive, they are reprints or fakes.


I don't consider myself an advanced collector, but I know a few...
