Adam;

You’re getting upset because you feel people are suggesting you collect stuff other than what you’re proud of right? I don’t blame you, you should be proud of what you have. As should each and every collector here.

However Adam by saying how silly people are by purchasing low to mid-grade cards is just a nasty a thing to say, your basically telling them they don’t know how to collect which is very rude. I’m embarrassed about my collection compared to some of the collections here, I wouldn’t have the balls to throw down like you have, saying I have one of the top collections, regardless of what state I’m in. And the attitude and the way you have done it has taken away from your collection which is a shame, because I’m sure it’s very nice.

Adam people buy items for the fun of it believe it or not. I bought a nice car a year or two ago, I will guarantee you I will lose money on the deal when all said and done. But I don’t care. I have a (Small) bass boat I sink money into all the time, because I enjoy fishing not because I plan on becoming a professional bass fisherman or selling the boat for a profit. People collect cards for the same reason.

Be proud of your stuff man, but don’t tell everyone here how there wasting their fun money by doing something they love and enjoy.

I may be too old to post on this topic as I turned 30 last year. I had most of my collection by the time I was 19, and before anyone throws down. I came from a regular working class family and collected with little or no budget. Three yrs ago I bought my first 2 cards that were over the 5k mark, and I felt every bit of the 5k. Do I have a good job now (yes) do I plan on spending more money (yes) will I retire a millionaire (No) well at least not from baseball cards.
