Of Recent Collectors Who Flip

[Chicago206]

I was clear in the BST about why im doing what im doing. Im no flipper...im a quitter. Im sick of the bullshit garbage and lying in these forums...and since its my sole outlet to discussing cards, why even bother anymore?

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..........

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.

So the dude changed his mind, what's the big deal?

[jb217676]

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

Hey guys, at this point it's piling on...let him sell his cards and move on.

...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.

Not me!.. I waste my money on cards and hang out here just to cause friction in the marriage.

Many years ago on the old board, I started a thread to share my T206 Highlander team set with 20 something different backs. I collected it in a few months and it included Uzit, Lennox, Piedmont 42, Hindu on down. When the set was complete in my mind is when I posted the thread. Shortly afterwards I started to lose interest in them , the thrill of the hunt was over, there was nothing left to do. I decided to sell them soon afterwards on the b/s/t. I didnt plan it, its how it happened. Not saying that is what is going on here , just sharing my experience. (by the way, the only card I have ever regreted selling was the SGC 30 Uzit. Forgot what member I sold it too, but would love for it to come back home).

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
