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.
Yeah nothing like riding your bike to the 7 11 or walking to the variety store or marveling at the cards your friend got from his older brother to lay the foundation. I'm sure I've lost most of my purity as with age the cards inevitably become assets too, but I'd like to think I still have some of that kid's residual love.
