Hello all,
I went ahead and edited my original post to include "ACTIVE Collectors" in the thread title, to try and eliminate some of the confusion. So by "active" collectors, I'm talking about those who've made purchases in the past year or so, and who are still actively looking or bidding at least once every few months. They may spend as little as $100 or $200 this year on a couple of cards for their collection.
I'm sure there are collectors who attend the major shows, yet they manage to not make any purchases. I'd have to think that for most of them, however, if they are interested enough to attend a show, then they most likely will be making at least one or two minor purchases at some point during that year. Or, are there a good number of attendees who only browse and never buy, or who still attend shows but haven't added to their collections in years?
