jay behrensJim, if you truily have a love for the cardboard and not the almighty $$$, then please post about cards rather than how much something is worth. Talking about the $$$ only shows that you care more about $$$ than the cards.
You says you don't want to see a class warfare fight, but you know what, creating a post like this is a self fulfilling prophescy since the majority of collectors here are of modest means. You start flashing big $$$ around and youa re bound to piss people off. Basically, you started the class warfare here, not John or anyone else.
For some reason, if These guys you admire were to show up and post, I don't anyone be mad at them because they have valuable collections, unless they do nothing, but talk about the value of their collection. All you have to do is look at the people that post regualarly on this board with what I would consider equally impressive collection and no one here hates them becuase of the value of their collection becuase they talk about how much their cards are worth.
Talking about $$$ may be fine and good over at the CU boards, but around here, you are not going to get a warm reception for doing it. So try sticking to just cards and if you have a desire to talk about $$$, take it on over to the CU boards.
