Default Who Are The Hobby's Most Influential New Collectors

Posted By: John

“But, this hobby should be strong enough for someone like Bruce (who granted likes to push people's buttons) to ask a question without personal attacks.”

Patrick I respect you a lot and you’re are a one of kind collector IMO, and I do agree with you to a degree. But where does Bruce’s responsibility reside in the above, at what point do people have to be subjected to “winners and losers” emails, pointless lawsuit threats, class war and other personal attacks via the inbox?

IMO Bruce has made his own bed, and any real “great thought” provoking questions tend to go the wayside after actions like that…

Case in point from a personal point of view, you have bought more $$$ cards than I could ever imagine at this point in my financial life, but I can talk to you without being talked down too. You don’t seem to hate anyone who’s not in your tax bracket, you have no elitists hang ups. I don’t think Bruce understands just how far having an attitude like that of yours could take him, he could really learn a lesson from you as could certain others on this board.

But once again your influence to the hobby comes across in your passion for what you’re doing not the prices you’re paying. IMO

P.S. Just got your email, I’ll contact you this week when I get back from Asia.
