Todd SchultzI'm not sure we read the same thread.
Adam's first response, which you say we have to take seriously, was
"My personal opinion is that PSA 1's,2's,3's are not even worth the plastic holders they are slabbed in, much less the amount of money these "collectors" spend on them." Since the price of a holder is about a dollar or two, that comment is idiotic. Since Adam knows many on this board collect low grade specimens, it is also inflammatory. Why should any deference be given to such tripe?
Next, we hear how the auction houses would never promote low grade cards as a source of "big bucks", as if such was the goal of these board members and that auction houses are the only way for money to be made in this hobby--two more fallacies.
Onward and upward--we're told how he has the biggest collection in Iowa, he's got grandiose plans of greatness, that others who collect had their cards handed down to them or have "cushy jobs where they don't do squat" (as if there was no toil or sacrifice getting to where people are today), that he's going "to have the last laugh", going to throw it back in people's faces, etc. Oh yeah, he makes play on another board member's name, challenges another member's spelling, more blather about how successful he is, a martyr reference (why has this turned into a bash me fest?) and then his I've got it rough because I'm a single parent spiel.
Sorry, kid needs to grow up and stop punkin. He contributed nothing to the thread but to spout how he has it all figured out. In re-reading much of the thread, I think he got off light--real light.
