Default What makes a great collector?

Posted By: Josh Adams

"A great collector by definition is one who has built a world class collection."

Respectfully, Bruce, that is YOUR definition of a great collector. Why does it have to be high end?
Is it possible to be a "great collector" and only have cards that are either low grade, or unslabbed in "collector's condition?"

For example, if a collector has a HR Kisses set in low grade, a complete CJ set in PSA 1, and an Minio Cig. set, in low grade. Would they not be a "great collector?"
In all sincerity, I am interested in your response to these questions.

Certainly, those with high grade collections are impressive, and very interesting to look at.

But lets not mistake a bank account with a large number attached to it, with a collector who has an "baseball card IQ" with a low number attached to it.
