Default this is a great thread!
I have learned collecting has been very cruel yet rewarding at the same time....


most important lesson:


"PEOPLE ARE WORTH MORE THAN CARDBOARD, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU"

"RESPECT OTHERS AND TREAT THEM THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED"

I try to follow this at all times, sometimes the cardboard gets the better of me, my passion, but in the end collectors / people are worth more than any dream card.... RIP to our fellow collectors, especially Jantz

That is so true. I've found over the years that card collecting has taken a backseat to the knowledge I've gained though the cards (like history, economics and how the game and hobby have evolved) and through the people I've met.

I think the hobby has a lot to teach us and I love these comments, great perspectives.

When you think you've seen it all, you find out you haven't.

Third party autograph "authenticators" are not as good as they think they are.
