If I couldn't experience that as a 10 year old I wouldn't be here now.

To be very clear, Rubin, Goldin, and all the other "Elites" in this business don't give a shit about random 10y old kids discovering this hobby.

Yeah nothing like riding your bike to the 7 11 or walking to the variety store or marveling at the cards your friend got from his older brother to lay the foundation. I'm sure I've lost most of my purity as with age the cards inevitably become assets too, but I'd like to think I still have some of that kid's residual love.

Every once in a while I will open a box of 80s or 90s cards for just that reason. It reminds me of the fun I had collecting as a kid.

I would have to buy 60s boxes LOL.

I can understand the guys on Blowout being upset over this since they like to buy new product every year, but why is this a problem here?

Fanatics/Rubin are logistic experts. Rubin made his money selling a portion of his business to eBay several years ago. I assume they will open up distribution but do it better (and without) the way it has been done for years.
