I wonder how many people who voted actually buy cards in auctions/from auction houses.

You worried that we're all just keyboard warriors who love to pontificate without actually ever having experienced the activity in question?

I would guess that most people here have bought at least a card or two at auction. Particularly if you're willing to cast a wide net and include eBay and all of the multiplicity of the various AHs. And especially if you're willing to let us look backwards for the last few decades, and include even small purchases.

But maybe I'm just guessing high.

I believe a large majority of these group buys cards/consign cards in AHs. Or at least bids in AHs.

AHs drive the card market. They drive VCP, they drive interest, they drive everything.

I am not worried. Nor do I mean “all”. But otherwise, a hard yes.

Maybe Leon could create a separate poll for high-rollers? The sample will be small, but it'll help cull out the people whose opinions don't matter.

All men are created equal. Some are more equal than others.

All opinions matter. (you can quote me)

I applaud success and love to see the high value cards posted on the forum. I also like to see the lower priced items too, which generally fall into my collecting habits anyway. I enjoy stuff we don't see every day more than stuff we do see routinely. I mean, my fave 3 cards are ubiquitous in the hobby but still, I like the obscure.

Back to the point, It sounds like more of a poll on which members have bid with AH's, ebay, other?....I think the percentage would be very, very high....
