Just because Hal has more money to throw around than most doesn't make him any less of a collector. Collecting is about the thrill of the hunt, and the hunt for the highest graded of a Hall of Fame rookie card is no different than the hunt for the last T207 or e90-1 to complete a set in VG condition. I, for one, am glad that Hal chooses to share his collection with us on the board and through his web site - many big collectors are very secretive and don't share the nice things they have, which is a shame.

You can call others on this board investors until you are blue in the face, but it doesn't make it so. If I sell anything from my collection, it is used to buy other cards that I want more at the time, and the only time I could see selling everything is if it was needed for family reasons which would take priority. The same would go for well over 90% of the board.

Using the word "humble" to describe yourself is some kind of sick joke...you could learn a lot from the people on this board if you weren't so arrogant. Stop shooting your mouth off about things you don't know sh*t about and try listening for a while.
