Steve M.to the post was in full agreement with the title. That of course is based on the fact that most, if not all of us, have at one time owned the card in question and just couldn't understand the price realized. Subsequent comments (after our initial reaction) are more telling of the mind-set of the true "collector".
I for one am willing to overpay to fill a hole in my collection. This is not to say that I'm a fish, its just fact. Its not to say that I am so rich that price is meaningless, its just fact.
Offer me a W601 Sporting Life Detroit postcard and name your price. Offer me a Henry Mathewson Ullman postcard and name your price. (Sorry for the plug Leon).
The point is that we cannot and should not be critical the winner of the card just because in our opinion he/she overpaid.
