I think I just overreact against negativity about money concerns being the primarily focus of collectors. At the price of some of these great cards, money has to be looked at deeply for most folks even if it’s just for collecting. I’m trying to do low grade Goudey Ruths to add to my small stable of Goudey hall of famers. At 7k a pop money concerns and perceived value just have to be a part of it for me. If anyone is willing to sell me one at 2010 prices with the commitment that I can never sell them while alive I would probably hop on board but until someone steps up and sells their cards for pre-craze prices I’m going to react negatively against the money grumbling I guess. My apologies if I sound too grumpy.
