I’m not faulting anyone Will, did I mention names? For every long term wealthy collector you can name I could point to 100’s of people spending inane amounts of money on seemingly average cards, because some dealer twists the worthless and inaccurate information retained in these pop-reports to their advantage.
Lets get something straight I don’t fault anyone for having a good job and lots of money, I don’t have anything against people who have great things either. I understand the world is not a utopian place and some will have more than others, believe me the last thing I am is jealous so don’t even insinuate that I would be, you missed my point entirely.
Second of all if you cant read the underlined sarcasm in my post above you’re as clueless as the guys who compete in the set registry. Which is nothing like competing in an auction by the way, at least in an auction by competing you win something. The registry is nothing more than two guys in a locker room arguing over who’s Johnson is larger.
For the record the Fogels’ of the world aren’t the issue, it’s the people, the 100’s above who I mentioned spending silly amounts of money on cards, because they have been roped into false hype and good old fashioned BS. When the new blood and influx of this money finds out their new rare low-pop common they paid $1200 for is worth $300, the bad taste sets in the mouth and their gone from the hobby. That’s the bigger picture here.
