That's $17 in tips get it right please. Oh and Bruce and next time why don’t “We” give everyone else a courtesy flush it was clear that night that foul stuff comes from the other end of the group not just the mouth to keyboard junk as we all are a custom too at this point. |

Thanks Jim. My point is the market needs to be much deeper than two or three bidders in order to sustain itself. |

as another investment alternative is fine with me... That only can help the hobby by bringing more interest and money to it. Its nice to have a hobby and collect something that also has some value and in times of need, if one's collection or a portion of it can be sold at prices higher than purchased than thats great. Whether you collect t206 beaters or PSA 8 Crackerjacks, its all good for the hobby and good that people from all levels of wealth can enjoy the same hobby. It does sometimes seem that there are always attacks on these boards against the wealthy who choose to collect hi grade cards or rare and expensive cards...why? It sometimes appears rather childish when attacks are continually made against those collectors who limit their collection to super expensive cards or high grade...who cares? we are all collectors. If money was no object, as a collector, I would be trying to buy the nicest cards i could find and for some collectors where money is no object thats what they are trying to do and good for them. |

[My own sense is that the biggest buyers of vintage cards continue to be Louchious and Spence and the ceo with a museum in Cali(name escapes me). Perhaps Scott Ireland as well. Believe Merkel and Fogel not nearly as active.] |

This thread is the standard by which all future hyperbole will measured. It's really amazing to have such a high concentration of it in one thread. In fact, it is the single most important and influential thread in the history of the hobby. More important and influential than all other threads combined. It is rumored to contain 5% of all hyperbole used on Net54. |

My suspicion is that the people who care most about who has the biggest and the best are the people who only wish that they could compete at that level. |

Is that the people who actually worry about who has the biggest and the best are the ones who have the smallest and the worst. If you are secure in your own skin you don't need to keep comparing wee-wees with everyone else. But we've been down this psychological path before, haven't we? That's why I said their act is getting tired. The Bruces post reminds me of my 3 year old niece, who disrupts every adult conversation that doesn't include her with "I pooped." The Bruces say "poop" and we all jump up to check their diapers. |

I just want to know when "they" bid on and win something in an auction, just how many of them pay for the item. Wonka said "they" would offer 1/2 the value. But if 4 of the "we" are paying, is it 4 times as much, so twice the value, or do they divide the half amongst the 4 of them? |

Chad and Doug have an amazing collection truly awe inspiring, but influential? Perhaps to the gang at SCP and other auction houses who have benefited from their passionate collecting. But at the end of the day I don’t think anyone collector or small handful of wealthy collectors will change the hobby forever I think even Doug and his Dad would agree with me on that. |

I am probably in the minority here, but I do believe that Bruce's questions are some the most thought-provoking ones on the board. I also agree that the majority of his questions could be written in a less combative manner. But, in person, the persona that rubs so many of this board's members the wrong way vanishes and you are left with an individual that does have a lot of hobby information to give. |

The only use the price of a T206 Wagner has for me is when I discuss my obsession with the uninitiated. All they want to know is "what's the most expensive?" I've always felt that "how much" was a superficial question worthy only of non-collectors. Far more intriguing is "why"; that question is what the influential collectors try to answer with their research, writings and posts. I may not agree with Ted Z. on the characteristics of some card issues but his analysis on T206's intricacies is fascinating and influential. Focusing on spending alone misses the point. |

I think some people collect baseball cards for status-related reasons. The only trouble is, for those people, just having the cards isn't enough, because if the collection isn't public then nobody will be able to bestow upon the collector the status that he yearns for. Kind of like, if a collector had 3 T206 Wagners but nobody knew about it, would anyone think that collector was the coolest collector in the world. |

Chad and Doug have a stellar collection of Americana, are very nice gentlemen, and are NOT at all public about what they own or what they spend. As with many collectors, they love the Hobby, not the wee-wee size comparisons. |

If The Bruce's really sent those emails to Josh I don't understand how any of you can support this type of behavior, regardless of the merit of his questions. Bruce shows time and time again that he is a wanna-be, pompous, arrogant jerk. |

Of course I agree that the Dreiers are complete gentlemen, some of the most wonderful people in the hobby. The same can be said for many of the people at the "top" of the hobby, if you define "top" by size or dollar value of the collection. I tend to define the "top" of the hobby by knowledge, access to other collectors, willingness to share information, and overall approachability. |
