I’m the first to admit, consider "everything" I say as hearsay unless I see it with my own eyes. If I theorize I will state it as a thought or opinion.

My relationship with Lifson is an exchange of emails in which he was very complimentary about my contribution to the hobby. It is an honor to be associated with his fine name. The quote is something he said in an email to me when I was disgruntled about collectors who are angry at me for no reason. Also, thank you for bringing it to this board.

Contrary to your belief John, I don’t need to step up my role, give a background, answer to you or share my motives. There are no motives, I haven't sold a card in years and the list of those I have helped in one way or another, I’m proud to say, is very long.

Can’t a guy just do something good for the sake of doing something good? My guess is no...not in this hobby. It’s polluted by the love of money, which is no knock against the investors. The rewards are having met several fine individuals and some great friends, plus being banned from everywhere except Net54.
