I used the definition to disqualify all or most of Bruce's potential candidates ("Sorry, not a collector." "Sorry, not a collector"). It was merely a rhetorical ploy. Notice, I never actually said I subscribed to the definition. |

In Bruce's defense for sharing knowledge, he is one of several credited with contributing to Volume I of Lew Lipset's "The Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards". |

I have little doubt that Bruce views Lew as an equal in the hobby hierarchy that Bruce has formulated in his head, hence the willingness (eagerness?) to share information. |

I agree with what a lot of others have said already. The true "influences" in this hobby are those that make their joy of collecting infectious through sharing of knowledge and images of thier personal collections. |

There are probably more old time collectors with unbelievable vintage cards that have managed to keep a low profile. Rumor has it that the largest vintage collection is in Indiana and would fill a warehouse. |

...for his insightful emails to me this afternoon. First he decides to make fun of my occupation (I guess Bruce never went to school and that education he did not get really helped him make his vast fortune). He does not know me but he assumed that I was a teacher because I could do nothing else. I want to make it clear Bruce that I had a double major in college...Literature and Physics. I abandoned both because I realized my true calling was teaching and that I would gain far more enjoyment out of that than becoming an Engineer or Lit. professor. So I changed my majors to Liberal Studies and never looked back. I love teaching and anybody who has ever met me (including people on this board) will vouch for my passion in teaching and baseball cards. People like you are very shortsighted. |

hear, hear! You have always had a great outlook on life and collecting. For all the assets that guy may have, he is clearly incapable of just enjoying them -- he has to stir up strife and try to make others feel bad about themselves-- it seems to be his only form of pleasure. Kind of sad, really. |

I'm not sure why anyone ever responds to Bruce's tripe anymore. He obviously knows his vintage baseball cards, however he rarely if ever shares his knowledge. He exhibits troll-like behavior in nearly every post he makes and he sends out hostile emails. |

I didn't intend to insult anyone or make anyone feel bad. I was just earlier stating my opinion that I find tiresome people who constantly judge cards only by their current market value. It's like judging the quality of music by the sales, and movies by the box office receipts. The latter is a particularly dubious measure of quality, as people buy the ticket before they've seen the movie. Most polls on quality involve people who've read (as opposed to not read) the book, eaten at the restaurant, attended the play or tried the new kitchen counter spray. |

Most influential "new" collector(s)? Does that mean anyone that has more money than brains and can buy any card they want is someone that is an influential collector? Having a large wallet in this hobby certainly doesn't hurt. Would that mean that someone that buys a T206 Wagner (because they can) is influential? |

Leon, I seem to recall a few months ago when it came to light that Bruce was sending rather nasty (and unsolicited) little private e-mails to board members that you had reached an agreement with him that he would discontinue the practice or face banning. |

Personally, I think Bruce tends to ask very interesting questions, but not in a very receptive way. I find it interesting to know that there are (3) new whales in the pre-war market. There is no question that the original PSA post-war whales had great influence that trickled down to the overall market significantly. I also feel that the original PSA whales lack of activity in the post-war market is partially, if not greatly, related to the post-war down turn. |

Bruce- even though we are polar opposites on how we view most things I do feel your just posted a,b and c are absolutely correct.....though if you have a 200k card there will be more than 3 bidders over 5k....The qty of bidders is different for different cards with respect to value in many cases....regards |

I think this board has had a much greater influence on the hobby than any individual or handful of individuals. The explosive growth in caramels cards (just an example close to my heart) and other tougher issues has evolved through growing knowledge about these issues, the frequent posting of images, and enthusiastic discussions. Before the internet and discussion boards like this one, it was difficult to get reliable knowledge or much exposure to some of what were less mainstream issues. Now, it is all on the table and it peaks people's interests. I was recently looking through an old Mastro catalog from 2000 and checking out the prices realized. It was amazing how cheap, by today's standards, many of the rarities went for. Part may be simple inflation, but the extraordinary rate of growth is due to increased knowledge and exposure to a large extent, in my opinion. That comes from boards like this one. If there are three new super-wealthy collectors out there, I would guess they are probably influenced by resources like this one. |
