David VarghaSeriously, if you followed baseball in 1980, you should know who Steve Trout is. But my question is, who cares if somebody pays $20 for his card? Why is there this constant harping about what others choose to spend their money on? Isn't it just a little silly that any of us spends our hard earned money on pieces of cardboard? I'm glad those collectors are chasing things I don't collect. It's already hard enough to compete for the cards I do want.
Also, why is that collector any less foolish than someone paying hundreds of dollars for an e107 Breisch Williams card of Herm McFarland? I mean, who has heard of this guy? And why would anyone pay such money for a beat-up card of a guy who managed a paltry .266 career average while everyone seemed to be hitting .300 or better? Maybe it was his .191 BA as a rookie. C'mon and get off of the condescending, high-horse.
