B) Didn't pony up in the past, for whatever reason.

C) Sold their cards in the past, and can't move on/let it go.

This anger and bitterness colors lots of posts and theories. It is really nothing more than that.

Some human beings will complain when it is raining and when it is sunny. They are the unhappy ones.

The happy ones don't care if a baseball card goes up a few thousand dollars. Just build a collection you love looking at. The old K.I.S.S. principle.
I hope you're not talking about me, because I bought the RCs I wanted in the space that's going insane well before this started so the only effect on me is a big (if temporary) spike in what they are worth. Maybe I have posted what I have posted because I know what I am talking about based on reliable information. Then again, you and your collecting buddy sound like you are really in the know so I must be wrong.
