Default The commonness of rare cards is less perplexing than the rarity of common ones

Thank you for that insight Leon. You may not realize it, but a guy can become so absorbed in his own collection, that he does not realize that others are different.

For example, if I was to choose to liquidate mine (say it isn't so. It isn't) I would be figuring ... well, I should be able to get $65. for this card, and maybe $155 for that ... etc. While others may be saying "I better get $6000. for this one, and maybe $4500 for that". Or other orders of magnitude differences in the thinking. That too is shown in the "What do you regret" thread, if you just open your eyes, Gil. Come on now. How many Oscar Ray Grimes cards were really shown in that thread?

But you say it so much nicer, Leon.
