Default What makes a great collector?

Posted By: Peter_Spaeth

There are many guys on this board with considerable wealth and outstanding educational credentials. Almost to a man, they comport themselves with dignity and humility, never looking down on others who happen to have less money but treating them as equals. It is too bad there seems to be a notable exception, because I am sure he (they?) has a lot of knowledge and experience to offer, but its value gets lost in the rhetoric and invective.

By the way, as a point of information, the founder of the Goudey Gum Company was born in the 1860s so if he was contacted in the 1970s it must have been via seance.
