Default What makes a great collector?

Posted By: Shanon

I am quickly learning about the wide variety of collectors and personalities on this board. I think anyone who takes HEART in thier cards and is an honest person to deal with is what makes a great collector. I am as proud of my T-206 PSA 1 Cobb and my PSA 3 Red Heart Musial as some people are of their PSA 8's and 9's. A couple of weeks ago my daughters 5th grade class did a school project on New York City. One of the projects was about baseball in the big apple, so I took in some of my Mantle and Brooklyn Dodger cards. Those kids loved them and so did a few Dads that had never seen an authentic 58' Mantle or 33' Gehrig before. That day was the reason I love to collect, and also made me realize how much I miss dealing and talking to real people at shows vs. winning auctions on ebay. So be proud of what you have, be respectful of others collections and put some heart into what you are buying, selling, and trading.
