Sometimes its not so much the message as it is the delivery. To my way of thinking, it really doesn't matter whatever someone else feels about graded or undgraded, who has the "best" or the "most valuable" collection, blah, blah, blah. That's they're opinion and they're entitled to it whether I agree with it or not. Where the acrimony seems to come in is with the tone of some of the posts, or at least the perception (or, arguably, misperception) of that tone.

This isn't life or death stuff and I quite frankly don't care whether its Marshall Fogel or Larry Frisch who have "the best" or "the most valuable" collection. I'd like to see them both, not so that I can decide that issue, but because they both have some wonderful cards that I'd like to see/drool over. I don't dispute that cards have value. I also confess to trying to keep aware of what my more prized cards are doing price-wise. However, that being said, I generally collect cards because I enjoy doing it, regardless of what they're worth. To my way of thinking, you can't put a dollar value on that. If others are more concerned with collecting for the value of their cards, that's great too. Why should I care as long as I'm happy with what I'm doing? Seems to me that it isn't, or at least shouldn't be, that big a deal.
