As you slide down the scale you care less about the cards and more about the money. When the money becomes more important than the cards you don't really need to be here. IMHO
Agreed. But I want to add that I find no particular problem with any of those 4 categories. Everyone should just be honest about where they fit in.

Bold statement, but I do tend to agree. I fall into the category of a collector who only sells mainly to fund other purchases or upgrade for a registry set. I would think that means I fall into category #1.

Chicago: I don't think this thread was directed only at you:

"We seem to have a small spate of people"

I agree to an extent. That Plank may have been the centrepiece to a collection one day, then change into the centrepiece of a new deal overnight. Who knows. Maybe something came up that the owner of the Plank wanted more than the Plank.

I may be a little odd,but I enjoy buying a T206 and thinking to myself "this bad boy won't be seeing the market for a long,long time"

I'm in the collector who collects catagory-but to each their own..........

Regards,

Clayton

Did I read above that another collector is letting us know they're leaving for good? They're dropping like flies.

Thanks for the courtesy call, but whatever happened to bucking up.

No big deal. More great cards in circulation looking for new homes.

...as much as the next guy. But if you are actually dumping your collection of pre-WWI baseball cards because of what people say on here you never belonged here in the first place.

This is where collectors come to discuss cards with like-minded collectors. People cannot really be collecting cards just in order to be part of this community, can they? Geesh. This might be the saddest story about humanity and card collecting I have ever heard. A total and complete downer.

I bought that T205 Johnson in hopes of flipping it. Then I became attached to it and decided to keep it. Then my 2 wonderful daughters created a senario that made me sell it. Since I don't like debt I think I jumped the gun on the sale. Should have kept it as the next month was great for business. Oh well now.

I think I may be a collector that flips sometimes

Jim you're right and I don't find a problem with any as well. I being in sales don't think profit is a dirty word.

But if someones interest is more about making money than collecting cards I just don't think this is the right place for them.
