Robert AI don't think the only reason collectors conceal cards in their collection from the public is to "maximize gains." It's one person's collection. Perhaps, the collector enjoys that others don't know that a particular example exists.
I can live with the fact that there might be uncatalogued examples from sets that I am interested in. In fact, that makes is more exciting for me as a collector.
Eventually, the information will end up in a book somewhere...maybe.
I have to admit though, before I read this thread completely, I didn't understand why people would get upset over collectors keeping their own cards a secret. I think that the other side of the argument has been presented very well in this thread and I have enjoyed everyone's comments thoroughly on this issue.
Thanks for a great thread.
