I never said Kendrick was not a collector. I couldn't care less if he collected 1889 Old Judge or 1989 Donruss. As I stated, more power to him, particularly if it gives him satisfaction. He can call himself a collector all day every day for all I care.
By the same token, I do not have to be impressed at all by his collection, much less to the same degree as someone else. It is nice and I am somewhat impressed, but points about it containing no real scarcities other than through high-grade are valid. Such points are made all the time on this forum--some just couldn't care less about the slabbed grade and/or aren't impressed by what they consider mainstream sets/cards. C'est la vie and to each his own. To turn this into a discussion about how some are just jealous of other's money misses the mark, IMO.
