Happy Festivus! Airing of Grievances 2024 Edition
Here are a few things after slowly combing through this tiring thread that might come to mind *for some* as grievances:
1. Attorneys on the main page, and their perpetual need to long windedly one-up each other on the details of the legalese which may or may not apply to a particular hobby incident / dealings of an auction house / other random hobby happening. 2. The never-ending argument on the main page and elsewhere on the skulduggery of alteration, or those who believe that Kurt's Card Care, et al. are totally legit businesses, who operate with no problems or cause for concern. 3. James and his perpetual disrespect for the way others collect as evidenced by his inability to go a week without tiredly railing on and on again about the evils of professional card grading, as if we haven't heard it all roughly 17 thousand times before. BUT -- not me.  My grievance is petty much what it always is - prices. This is truly just a hobby for me, and as such I'm left to channel spare income, bonus money, Christmas & birthday money, etc. to fund my continuing pasteboard purchases. I could of course dip into retirement savings or investments to just go buy whatever I want without nearly as much regard for the cost, (another oft-visited main page subject...) but I think I'd like to remain married instead. As the years go by and I find myself finally more interested in things like prewar at least for my Chicago Cubs collection - I remain astounded even in a downturn at how ridiculously expensive everything is - even in low grade. I'll get over it, but that's my true grievance. Happy Holidays All!
