I had a great connection with collecting as a kid of 10 which brought me back as a young man at 21, silent for 21 years but still a positive feeling so I was fortunate enough to find this place and have the resources build a respectable collection. If I couldn't experience that as a 10 year old I wouldn't be here now.

To be very clear, Rubin, Goldin, and all the other "Elites" in this business don't give a shit about random 10y old kids discovering this hobby.
