IF Collecting a ZERO SUM Game then....
If collecting is a zero sum gain, (which it seems to be, especially when trading is involved) then the most successful collectors have technically screwed over the MOST collectors...
I have wondered how someone "trades to the top" and becomes the top dog aka Bill Mastro....did this person make the best trades/sales over the years and screwed the most people to gain such a long term advantage? kind of a negative way to look at it but..... also I remember watching Bruce Dorking Youtube how he tried for year to get a guy to sell him a memorabilia piece...he finally got the guy to say yes, by buying him plane tickets for a trip which was about $2000...Bruce then bragged how he truned around and sold it for $80,000..... these are thing I would not be proud of if I did myself.... any comments?
