Relevant to our hobby or not?

As for the subject, I also see some similarities in the hobbies.

That's a beautiful card, would have to get real lucky to find one like that for $1500 when I was looking. My next bigger(for me) card purchase is going to be a red Cobb with a Old Mill back. Waiting for the latest scandal to get over with hopes the market crashes hard.

The car thing is kinda simular but the terminology is different. I had a very interesting childhood and 20's. I know A LOT about cars like that Corvette. Like altered cards you need to find someone that knows very little about them to sell altered cars.
