during the rookie card boom, I set up at a show next to an obnoxious dealer in modern rookies. The braggart spent every spare minute of the show telling me how many thousands he'd made by selling 100 to 1000 card bricks of rookies. Just the week before, he bragged, he'd done $19,000 in cash on Ken Griffey Jr. rookies. Finally, he asked me what I did for a living. "I'm a lawyer", I said. "What kind of law do you practice?" he asked. "I work for the IRS in the fraud division; we'll be in touch." Never seen a white man turn five shades whiter in two seconds...

Anyone who brags about how much they make on cards is lying. Kind of like anyone who God blesses you over a card deal...
