If a "precious" piece of memorabilia turns us into Gollum maybe we should just buy a pair of binoculars.

I have a male albino house sparrow that visits my back yard every few days. He really sticks out in the group of about 15 regular birds that he travels with.
As far as cards I can't see why someone would not share any information they have. I find it kind of disturbing when someone says they have several years in the hobby and won't share the info they have. Too bad the person that shared that info with them would have told them to fook off when they asked for it.
This is from a hobby point of view, if you buy/sell cards for a living I totally understand not giving out any info.
