C'mon, Sam. Real men know that's not pink, but rather more of a salmon.

Here's what I want to know - Why do we even have a separate word for light red?

Light blue = light blue
Light green = light green
etc, etc.

Light red = pink

Or what about those grown men that buy wallet size photos of athletic men, then freak out if the corner is bent or their little man isn't perfectly centered between the borders...

There was a 1980's comedian (George Carlin I think) who made an observation about cards.

He said "I can understand collecting baseball cards when you're a kid. Those guys were your heroes. Now that you're an adult, you're just collecting pictures of other men."

LOL, I think you're on to something.

Create a need - Registry sets
Illusion of scarcity - TOP POP! or ONLY 3 GRADED HIGHER!
Hike Prices - 707's (and others) ebay model
Provide Information - POP reports, SMR, PSA Grading Guide etc.
