Default Well?

Posted By: Al Crisafulli

Hal, I am still new here and I don't know you, but CONGRATULATIONS on an amazing card. What a dynamite thing to have in any collection. It is a beautiful, beautiful card.

In terms of the multimillionaire thing, well, like the subject line says: who cares? If a multimillionaire likes to horde cards and can't tell you their history, who cares? If a guy making $15K likes to spend ten bucks a month on 1991 Upper Deck, who cares?

Does it really matter to anyone - besides the individual collector - what someone's motivation is for liking what they like? It still baffles me why people get so riled up over people's motivations for collecting what they collect.

If I were a multimillionaire, I'd buy a Wagner. And I'd be able to tell you a lot about the card. I'd also buy a nice car, and I'd love it. And I can't change an air filter. Not sure what that says about me, but apparently it says something very important.

-Al
