I think Jim's last post hit on a crucial point: the difference between collecting as a hobby (i.e. Burdick mailing out his T206 Wagner to other collectors so they could see it) and collecting as a sport (i.e. the registry, grading, population reports, etc), with all the competition and testosterone that comes with it. Nothing inherently wrong with either path, but most of the angst on this board comes when people on one path intersect with those on the other.
