Scot ReaderWe're getting off cmoking's original topic but I can't resist chiming in. Collecting for me is a grand experiment. I will buy one card from a set, hold it for a few months and decide whether I like the card a lot or just a little. If I like the card a lot I will often buy more cards from the set. If I only like it a little I will sell the card off--sometimes at a loss. One has to live with something a while before one can commit to it ....
As for cmoking's rant about "the middleman," I sympathize but think his anger (maybe anger is too strong a word) is misplaced. The middleman who won the card is basically a gambler who is making a bet that he/she can flip the card for more than he/she paid for it. cmoking of all people should respect--and indeed champion--the God-given right to place a good bet!!!
