peter chaoDennis,
I never said I was just a collector, but I resent it when you serious collectors say that I can not also be a collector.
I still remember walking around the neighborhood to collect coke bottles so that I could buy another box of Topps Wax Packs so that I could complete my series. However, I was never patient enough to complete a set of Topps.
Then recently I finished a set of '57 Topps including the Baker error in ungraded EX-MT condition. One day I would like to have a master set.
And Joe doesn't take it seriously when I say the collector is the foundation for the market. Let's put it this way as an investor I feel much more comfortable knowing that there's a group of serious collectors out there that will buy when the market is dropping like a rock. I'm comforted by the fact that the market would eventually turn around.
