Trevor,

Good points and I see where you are coming from.

I do think that people who have a lot of money tied up in their collection care about the value of it. These people have just as much passion for the hobby as a guy who collects p-f cards.

When people talk about the hobby and collections they talk about about Fogel and Louchios and Merkel and Spence and when people talk about most dealers it is Mastronet and Memory Lane and SCP and Mile High--this is a huge part of the hobby--there are tons of collectors collecting 50s, 60s, 70s--the vast majority of this high grade.

Not knocking the low grade collector--just saying that from a number of perspectives he is becoming a less important part of the hobby.
