Oh Well, I can STILL get vintage cards from reliable dealers, and EBAY which is one of the main reasons I joined this forum anyway. To expand my prewar card collection, with the help of other "collectors". Who share the same love that I have for the game of baseball, and the "hobby" of baseball card collecting. PLEASE don't reply with "Adam, you have no love for the game or "hobby" of baseball". It will not work, I have been EXTREMELY invloved with the "hobby" and sport since 1988 (age 8). Besides, you guys ARE NOT collectors. Just investors, much like myself. The only difference is I am humble enough to admit that I am an investor.Prime example, www.lewisbaseballcards.com. Look at Hal's collection and tell me that he is a "collector" and NOT an investor. He states on his site that he is "trying to obtain the HIGHEST GRADED EXAMPLE, ROOKIE CARD OF EVERY H.O.F.ER." Is that a "TRUE COLLECTOR" or "INVESTOR".It sounds like an INVESTMENT to me.EXAMPLE:Cap Anson 1887 Old Judge SGC 80. Tell me that's NOT an investment.Oh yeah, by Net54 standards it's "just collecting". RIGHT GUYS!
