Collectors vs money hungry people?

I think what you're looking for are true collectors, you'll find them in pre war and they have been around a long time, they care about integrity, honesty, and commitment. While money is a factor it's way down on the list of what's important. It's an awesome community that the modern guys have no skill set to engage with.

Best of luck and success.

I disagree Phil. A prewar whorehouse is populated with a lot of wrinkles, worn corners, callouses, poorly centered breasts, a lack of registration, numerous surgical variations and unscheduled loss of fluids from several orifices. Authenticity is a huge problem as well.

I seriously doubt that they are a hotbed for collectors, even for those with impaired vision.

Is that what happens when an owner doesn't properly care for their, "undisclosed location filled with non-fungibles?"

That Depends, Eric.

The route to the emergency room from the senior brothel is frequently used.

Frank, as my kindred spirit, we've obviously both spent some time at an undisclosed location on the outskirts of Elko NV, never at the same time which I will eternally regret...

Ah Marie, I'll think of you on my deathbed...

If my man Frank was there, it was only because he was the surgeon on call.

It's all this prospecting BS and the ruins it leaves behind, because nobody wants to lose all of the $400 they paid for one, even though they'll never come close and it now should be a $5 card. So they sit unsold at bloated prices on principal, yet people still beat each other up when one comes available at a low auction price because they want/need one for whatever reason and can't find them otherwise as people are still hoarding those they took a bath on.

It should surprise no one that I actually got my Puig autograph in Elko, Nevada, and that I know real reason Yasiel's career was abbreviated. However I must let you imagine the rest of the story due to HIPAA regulations. Let's just say he wasn't suited for the prewar game in Elko.
