Jim,
I read your responses to what I posted and was at a loss for why you were so upset. Then, I reread my post and I think I understand what the problem is.
In my original post, what I wrote seems to be a sweeping generalization-i.e. that "wealthy collectors" have no clue about what they are buying. That they just spend their money on something because of what they have heard, read or were told to buy. It sounds like I am saying these people have money but no brains.
In my haste to write a response to the original poster, I did not proof read what I had written (as you can see by a couple of typing errors that I did not correct). Because of this, I left out a VERY important word - SOME.
When I was thinking about what the OP said and what I wanted to respond with, I wanted to say that "SOME wealthy collectors" just buy big name cards because of what they have read, heard or were told about these cards. Unfortunately, I didn't type SOME and because of that, my meaning didn't come out as I wanted it to.
For those I may have upset or offended, I am sorry because that is not what I wanted or intended to do.
David
