I am often wrong, but I think this is a good bet. In addition to fees, the high cost of postage have made selling the moderately priced cards difficult via on-line selling.

I hope you're right. I got so excited at Philly, but the younger guys here have brought me back to earth!

I don't mean to be negative. I've just seen it before. I'm also frustrated by the infiltration of the hobby by non-hobby people, which is not a good thing in my opinion.

Not picking on you, but this is part of what I'm talking about. If the hobby is going to sustain, it needs more interest and more people. Those people are by default currently "non-hobby" people, right?

I wasn't talking about all people. I was talking about most. If you are a serious collector you are aware of how small your circle is. That circle will always be that small. There will be someone to take your place but there won't be a waiting list.
