Some people take a scholarly approach to collecting (I like to think I am one of them). I am fascinated with the how and the why of card manufacture and collecting, which is probably why I chase printing freaks. That's my preference. I certainly don't see anything wrong with someone who doesn't take that approach and would never denigrate them on that basis. Give me someone who appreciates the cards, the history, the game or the players--anything that creates a passion for collecting--and I am down with it. The only people I have problems with as hobbyists are those who don't care about anything except the $$ involved. Frankly, that kind of "collector" gets really tedious really fast.
