When there is money involved and big money involved, many things are tied in as part of the deal. Just keep your head down and keep moving. It’s just the way it is. It’s all about the most money possible.

I am genuinely curious and do not mean this as a slight or a challenge, so please take it as my trying to understand your perspective, because that is what it is: as negatively as you seem to view most of the card collecting world and its participants, why do you continue to participate? I ask because my way of looking at my card collecting is that when it becomes more negative than positive for me, I will stop and find something else to do for fun. I am pretty cynical and snarky by nature but overall I enjoy this thing of ours a lot, and when I read your posts I wonder if you enjoy it at all.
