john/z28jdAl which side are agreeing or disagreeing with? Looks like you jumped from one side to the other and then went to the outside and said both sides were wrong in disagreeing with each other.Hard to be wrong when you take all 3 sides so im agreeing with Al whether hes saying im wrong or right.
In all honesty,i know a collector(not personally but thru someone else) who makes as much as anyone on the board and bought cards because he was basically talked into it.He doesnt directly buy cards,he actually has someone do all his buying.I dont think you can call that passion and im pretty sure if you asked him to name something about the player on the card he wouldnt be able to tell you anything past what the card obviously points out.If you call buying as many cards as he wants a passion then no one could possibly collect cards and not be passionate about them.
Basically if you make up your own definitions to help your own story then you can always be right so im not saying anything else about it in this thread or continuing to read the thread because its gotten ridiculous.Refer back to my car analogy if you have any questions of what i mean because thats the best i can explain it. I'll never believe that percentage wise more than 4 out of 5 people who have lots of money and collect cards really do it because they love baseball
