leonI have read that before and always thought it was some insight into his thinking. In keeping with nostalgia here is the intro in the American Card Catalog. I think it would help if we all keep this in mind while we are collecting (and I'm one to talk). There is probably a little more monetary emphasis today, than in the past, so naturally there is a little more stress than intended with the advent of card collecting. The excerpt from the initial intro in the ACC:
"A Card Collection is a magic carpet that takes you away from work-a-day cares to havens of relaxing quietude where you can relive the pleasures and adventures of a past day- brought to life in vivid picture and prose. Here is a phase of our heritage without which history has no full meaning, and only history can help man to understand the past and prepare for the future. This is history from an original source."
