Imagine, beating up a collector because with his own hard-earned money, he desired, and now owns one of four Ozzie Smith "1979 Topps" rookie cards graded PSA 10. Pitiful.

Give it a rest, Chris. I sure hope PSA or JSA don't turn a corner too quickly, 'cause it might break your neck.

That's not possible, David. You see, you're easily intimidated. I'm not.

So what if he did collect the grade. The population reports reads that the buyer of that card owns one of four of that particular PSA 10 graded card. That's not an illusion, that's real. If that's what he paid for, so what. What business is it of yours? How does that purchase affect your life, Travis? Explain that to everyone here. |

I'd rather be a jerk who is never intimidated and bullied, than someone who isn't a jerk who wimps out at the first sign of trouble.

He's not collecting the card, he's collecting the grade.
There are 9's out there in the same condition, just a LOT cheaper. He's a status collector, he collected the status of being a grade 10 - 1 of 4 in a certain circle of collectors that no else is admitted in this circle unless they want to pay that amount also. There is an app for the iphone called the "I am rich" app, and it consists of a red jewel that shows up on your iphone and that's all it does. It cost 1000 dollars and some people have bought it for the sole status of saying that they own it and have the means to own it. He can buy the ozzie smith if he wants to. but he's not buying card or even the condition, he's buying the status, grade 10 - 1 of 4. If he took it out of the holder, it would still be the same card in the same condition, but he couldn't show others the #10 on the holder anymore and it wouldnt be worth the money even though it is the same card. i don't know who the guy is, he collects for his own reasons, and others collect for their reasons too, and we don't have to agree. If he paid 10 million for the card you would think he was still sane? we just have different sane thresholds and #10 cards going for that kind of money crossed my threshold a while ago. but he can go for it and knock himself out. It's a free country. Last edited by travrosty; 02-03-2012 at 05:06 PM. |
