I guess my take was he threw money at it to get it done in a rush and now it's "news" worthy. Still took a ton of work but I'm not as impressed as when someone like Erick is doing it by buying, flipping, trading to get the set in a solid grade, working for each card and keeping the costs down. When Clayton finishes his set, that will be an impressive task. Ted's collection, impressive.
Your collection to me is impressive and its not because it took a fair chunk of change to put together. You enjoy each card, scan them, organize them, share them and contribute to the hobby.
At two + cards a day for 2/3 of a year, I think opening the mail would be more of a routine task then a collectors passion.
Then he sold it. I just wasn't impressed with his story.

Thanks Chris
I can say that picking up one or two cards at a time does allow a certain type of "bond" to happen~ and it also makes it harder to consider selling/trading them
even the low grade commons
Sincerely, Clayton
