I have no idea where this guy gets his Marxist/Capitalism ideas from.
The facts are that there are some that collect cards for the enjoyment of filling an empty slot in a set. __ A sublimation that has worked for me till this day.
We also have those that buy/sell, in order to buy cards that they collect at a savings.
Then we have the Investor/flippers, that get the enjoyment that the stock market fails to give ... mainly because they understand baseball more than they understand stocks ... providing that the market is up.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the fact is, all of the above is what makes up our cardboard hobby/business, and all of the above is legit and not a crime.
To each his own.
Now what's all this crap about Marxist, and Capitalism?
Some of you sound like Madam LaFarge, from "A tale of two Cities".
"Off with his head!"
"Burn the books!"
"Down with freedom of speech!"
"Delete it!"
