Did anyone ask Hal how much he paid for the T206 Honus Wagner?
Out of the 60+ thread additions, it was all congratulatory on achieving an amazing feat and putting himself into a limited group. Outside of the occasional "did you see what this sold for?", am I wrong or does the Board rarely like to talk about "the worth of cards" when they discuss their personal collections per say.

When someone wants to share a card with the Forum members, does anyone ask what they paid for it or what they thought it was worth? Do you think that any of us take a calculator to our collections monthly to try and figure out where we stand in "our portfolio"?

I don't have the slightest idea how much my collection is worth and I could really care less. Disposable income goes in that direction and I haven't really obtained anything "good" in a long while and merely playing the waiting game (and saving) for cards on my wish list.

I think that's why Jim's thread rubbed people the wrong way. I could care less what Charlie's collection is worth as I could care less what my neighbor takes in yearly or how much Brad Pitt makes on his latest movie. These things don't concern me in life and as a collector.

Just my two cents....
