Hank you’re one of my favorite folks in the hobby it’s nothing personal. Your comment didn’t read so much to me as your feelings.

It read more as a pretty broad stroke that it’s less fulfilling overall. That his achievement was somehow less impressive and achieved without any challenges. Because he had the cash to collect the way he did. It’s cool if you say that lifestyle isn’t not for me. However to insinuate that it’s less fulfilling or what was achieved was without any challenges is a very broad statement to make, and something we don’t know. That’s all I’m saying Hank to you.

I’m just amazed how many folks are so quick to say to a guy like Josh not impressed….no biggie or jump to the conclusion that he must have less of a passion or somehow gotten less out of the hobby. Simply because he collected something a different way with a larger financial budget that just doesn’t make sense to me. Especially surrounded by guys with lots of expensive items for sale one day…I wonder how many of you would be so judgmental if it was your cards Josh was buying.

As I said before I would be careful applying this ruling to anyone because we all to somebody are doing things differently. How would you feel if someone belittled your collecting? Because they felt…."gee must be nice to drop 2k in Goodwin not impressed, you will never appreciate that like I would."

Cheers,
