Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>The fact you say it's his rookie AND you are somewhat changing your collecting goals tells me a little more about "motive". I respect your thoughts on that subject. I just couldn't get over the most passionate rookie collector selling this card. If you are changing your focus then so be it...You don't "need" to explain yourself but I appreciate the fact you do/did....good luck with the auction...

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Thanks Leon!<br /><br />I have no motive for selling, other than that I have decided that I can live without the card.<br /><br />No different than Dan McKee selling the Alphas. Nobody questioned whether the Alphas were suddenly suspicious or wrongly dated.<br /><br />I may be a collector, but I live in the real world. EVERY card I own is for sale if the price is right.<br /><br />Anybody want to buy a PSA 8 Plows Candy Matty?

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Hal- I think you just have to accept the fact that this is an unusual card that will elicit many different opinions and I'm sure you knew when you decided to sell it that you would be barraged like this. I reiterate what I said earlier and Jay Miller added and that is you owe nobody any explanation at all as to why you are selling it, as long as you know you are doing so in good faith. Some of the greatest rarities I have ever owned I have sold, and many of the pieces I have chosen to keep in my collection are not nearly as significant as the ones I parted with. And why did I choose to sell my best pieces? It's just business, that's all. No further explanation needed.

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p> I was hoping this thread would keep going down hill....and the price would get so low I could bid on it.. Just kidding all. Great read and good to see Leon and Hal came to some kind of peace on each side. Hal, its a great card and glad you have the opportunity to collect what you like with out scutiny from every one and his brother. Again, good luck on the sale. If you want to end it early I have some 1980's Topps for trade. <br><br>A scared man can't gamble and a jealous man can't work.
