For some reason, there is a real bias against wealthy collectors on this board. Sure, Kendrick is wealthy, but there is a lot of other things that he could have chosen to spend his money on. From what I've read, it seems like he genuinely enjoys collecting cards. What's wrong w/ that? Some people may say that he's only looking at it as an investment, but I thought that I read somewhere that he said he doesn't plan on selling any of the cards he's purchased in the past. It's a pretty rare investor that says that I have 1000 shares of Apple stock that I never plan on selling, but I just want to display the certificates in my office to look at every day. Another criticism is that he displays his collection so much, he's obviously bragging about it. So what? It's nice to see the cards of wealthy or long time collectors. I wish that the owner of the T215 Pirates near set would display his collection at National someday. It'd be nice to see the Just So Cy Young at some event. There are plenty of iconic cards in the hobby that I wish their owners would display more often, so I don't think Kendrick deserves the backlash for showing his collection.
