Jason LApologies if any of these have been polled before...
1) What do you consider to be the most offensive/inexcusable form of card alteration? trimming, soaking, coloration, corner building, ironing out wrinkes, etc
2) What is the most important factor that determines your purchase of a card? need it for a set, condition, eye appeal, 3rd party grade assigned, priced right, etc...
3) Are you a fan/history buff of the period you collect? or do you just collect the cards? this is a tough one to phrase, but you see what I mean
4) What percentage of your collection would you consider "core" vs ancillary/misfits? 10%, 25%, 50%, etc...would just be interesting to see how many people consider themselves focused/disciplined
5) Given the recent month or two of rather anxiety-filled posts, it would be interesting to hear: How concerned are you about the future of this hobby and its ability to maintain its integrity? not at all concerned, somewhat concerned, very concerned, etc...nevermind...that one sucks
anyway, just some thoughts
