What generally turns me off in the hobby is the obsession in some quarters with high prices: "CNN.com reports Honus Wagner sells for $2.5 millions," "PSA: Mastro Shatters Auction Prices," "Sotheby's Expects Ruth Bat to break $1 million."

I like to meet a collector on a normal, even limited budget, who genuinely enjoys what he or she collects. If he's enthusiastically finishing a raw 1980 Topps set in Very Good condition, that's great.
