JimBSpending $7,800 for a common card certainly seems crazy to me, but because somebody can afford and wants to have a super high-grade set does not make them any less of a "collector" than anybody else on this board. Just because they have more money doesn't mean they love the cards less. Though I am not one of the folks that spends thousands on commons, it sounds like there is some petty jealousy here. One can certainly raise ethical questions about people doing more worthwhile things with their money, but that is case regardless of whether the card is worth three figures or five figures.
Where would those of you who are critical of such set registry people come down on someone someone paying 50K for an N172 California league player in ****ty condition?
