DJYou hit on the head Trevor. The average collector who collects cards, why do they have to know who Fogel, Louchios or Merkel are?
They just spend their $30 on a creased card and proudly add it to their collection. I bet 95% of the collectors have no idea who they are, which is basically the collector's who support low grade cards. Of course "the backbone" knows who they are.
The way I look at this Forum is a community...and you don't care if you make friends? I look forward to meeting the people behind these words in the future. Barry. Scott B. Moderator. I can't wait to get Wonka to sign some of his original art for me!
A person completes a T206 set and everyone on the VBC Forum congratulates them on the feat.
Jim, look at the Pick up thread sometime. Almost all are off condition cards that go into a loving collections and people congratulating them on their pickups. People proudly displaying their latest purchases. Nobody ever asks how much they paid for the item. The price doesn't for the most part matter to the VBC Forum collecting group.
