Joe PelaezSharp shoes you've got on.
If you're drinking Vodka, I hope it's a good brand, and you're not ruining it by mixing it.
Dave, you can count on one thing.
Any time that I hear any one referring to my hobby in Wall Street Journal terminology, and mind set, you can bet your last flipper that I might just step in and remind the predominant investor crowd of this board, that it was once a Hobby with strictly collectors.
Collectors that were not enslaved by numeric numbers.
Collectors that bought a card because they wanted to add it to their collection, and the thought of what will it fetch later, never crossed their mind.
There are a few collectors left on this board.
They can be recognized by the way they speak about the cards, and sets.
They will not use Wall Street terminology to discuss vintage cards.
They still hold on to the idea, that their sublimation is still a Hobby, and NOT a MARKet.
The few collectors on this board, will gladly leave The MARKet to you Dave, and your Skyrocket boys.
If per chance you haven't noticed lately, some of the disciples of plastic world, have become very concerned about possible ownership of doctored goods.
Let me use a word that you might understand, the word correction.
If there is a correction going on, it wont be among the collectors.
They've known about the all the BS that the Speculator - Flippers are just discovering now.
For obvious reasons, investors don't like to hear about problems.
Problems, mean problems for their investments.
Collectors don't have to worry about that, they just roll with the punches.
All right, all you Specs out there.
Calibrate your rifle sights.
Ajust the trajectory of your morters.
Don't forget to pull the pins from your grenades.
Give it your best shot.
Cause this solo collector is ready for the best you can throw at him.
