What a class A clown...

You poor, undereducated, "beater" collectors with too much time on your hands. You take great pleasure in throwing darts at us

Whilst you were having your fun, we acquired six PSA 8 type cards and two very important pieces rare memorabilia... all from the BST section on the board.

Perhaps you should stick to throwing poison darts at one another, and not bother to comment on each of our posts.

Wow six PSA 8 type cards and two very important pieces of rare memorabilia? Guess you are making up for time you spent on suspension.

While collecting cards is an awesome hobby, it appears that for some members it is a weak attempt at filling a huge void in their lives. The things that are truly important in ones life should be deeper than a grade on a piece of cardboard. It is actually sad to think that some people are missing out on life's greatest gifts.....btw, these great "gifts" are not material items.

I friend of mine is a paramedic who has spent the final dying moments with hundreds of people. He told me not once has anyone ever said anything about their wealth or material things during their final moments. He said they always speak about their loved ones and things that are truly important in life.



Thoughts?

Probably belongs in a different thread and on the main board but I say to each his own. If someone enjoys cards more than people that's their right. What each person values in life is different.

We agree that everyone finds pleasure in different ways.

However, to assume that everyone's greatest gift is a spouse, partner and children is not true.

There are millions of Americans, some very successful ones, who never marry, never live with another person, and never have children. This group is financially independent, has no personal responsibility for anyone but themselves, controls their own space and does what they want to when they
want to.

Collecting ultra rare baseball memorabilia, especially those items for which there is a great deal of competition, is our single greatest source of joy.

Having faced death several times, we know you can't take with you, but the first thing we did when left the hospital was to spend hours working on our collection.

No nagging wife, no screaming kids, no alimony, no one in our space (except those we want there when we want them).

A home in perfect order with a small personal staff - good friends who respect our privacy, incredible Yankee tickets.

Can't think of anything (or anyone) that could bring us more happiness.

Enjoy the 4th and God Bless America!
