Where are all the super rare cards?

Bruce-For the life of me, I can never understand the reason for posts like this. If you love the hobby, and I'm pretty sure you do, you have to realize that it is made up of a panoply of people with very different collecting interests, and various levels of disposable income. Just because someone does not collect what you collect, or has less money to spend on cards than you do, does not diminish what they do in the least. In fact, many people who you are mocking in your post, because of their love of the hobby, allocate a higher percentage of their available funds to their collecting pursuits than you do. Do you think statements like you have made would have ever come from the lips of Jefferson Burdick, or Buck Barker, or Keith Mitchell? I don't. Be a mensch!

Because he is a sad, lonely internet troll starving for attention in any way he can get it...oh and also this post will result in at least 2 ultra high grade cards for their collection.

Right -- the response from Bruce to all the vitriol he solicits (whenever, if ever, it comes) is invariably how successful the "provocative" post was in helping him acquire awesome cards.

If one had to follow in Bruce's footsteps to acquire mind-blowingly rare baseball cards, I believe he would have few if any followers.
