Default When a hobby turns into a sick obsession

Posted By: jay behrens

Martin, people like to know why people do what they do so they can better understand, rather than make blind, prejudiced assumptions about them. I'd be very interested in hearing the answers to Tim's questions because I too find it interesting that the registry advocates run and hide when bad things like this are brought up.

Jeff, Tim's question isn't about whether people should slab or not and the reasons for it. He, and many like myself, want to know what makes people want to compete on the registry and why it would drive people to do the things like what occured to start this thread. If getting an untrimmed, unaltered card is your for a raw set, just do like Julie, buy them slabbed and then crack them out.

Jay




I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home, I would be arrested. So, I go to baseball games and fit right in.
