Bruce,
In your initial post, your numbers & relationships don't make sense.

Items Graded:
Coins 58%
Sportscards 38%
Total 96%

Revenue:
Coins 69%
Sportscards 24%
Total 93%

Of course there is always the infamous "Other".
Sorry, I could not help myself.

Back on topic I liken my interest to our hobby to that of a junkie. I buy and sell to support my addiction. I have been collecting sportscards since the late 60's and it is very much a hobby to me. In terms of the ever increasing dollars involved I cannot, of course, ignore the business aspect of it. Trevor did a nice job of bifurcating this.
My thoughts. No spell check - sure hope I did not make a boo boo.
