Default Who Are The Hobby's Most Influential New Collectors

Posted By: JimCrandell

Rhett Yeakley--"I'm sure you will ignore this post"

No, I won't Rhett.

1)Bruce's e-mails--I not only do not condone this behavior, I abhor it. If indeed he is sending vile e-mails to other board members I think its a terrible thing to do.

2)"I swear, Jim..you must wait for times when you can go against the general populous of the board. You must salivate when there appears to be an opening to spew your rhetoric." This is largely true. I would much rather be on the minority side and speaking up for a point of view that is attacked then be a piler oner.

3)"How do you justify coming to the defense of Bruce after what he did to Josh?" Who's Josh--and what did Bruce do? I am not coming to Bruce's defence. I said it was a good post. I interpreted his post as who is coming into the hobby spending the big bucks? Sure his attitude is condescending but I can easily look through that. I think he does it just for effect. I care about the content and I think the content of his posts
is the best on the board. I want to know who the new big hitters are in the hobby.

4)I like teachers and would never attack someone for their professionm. If Josh is a teacher great-- I skim the posts and only focus on what interests me--must have missed this one.

5)I don't see why everybody can't focus on the aspect of vintage cards they like the best. I don't care that much about the nuances of particular sets that I am not involved in or the latest ebay thread.

What I care about is graded cards, graded sets, the rankings in the set registry, the populations, the prices, card alteration. I love the sport, I love the hobby and the advent of card grading has added an exciting new dimension to me.

To each his own.

Jim
