Happy Festivus! Airing of Grievances 2024 Edition

[Exhibitman]

With the abundance of asshats and crooks in the hobby, it is so hard to choose just one, but let me 'honor' all of the sneak thieves, burglars, opportunistic thieves, and car robbers who have plagued card shows all year. It seems like you cannot go a single big show without someone getting ripped off. It has basically chased me out of the desire to set up at shows, which is a shame because I generally enjoy having a table and looked forward to doing it more often in retirement.

Honorable mention to people shit-posting the hobby. If card collecting sucks so much, stop doing it, or if not, at least STFU about it, Debbie Downer.

I don’t have any grievances really this year, just saddened by all the thefts in person at shows and the break-ins of vehicles in transit to and from shows. People for the most part have been pretty nice on the board. There hasn’t been any major battles between members which is a good thing :-).

Also, let’s not forget all the greats who died this year, which will be missed.

I’ve noticed a few members here who frequently post about how much they despise the hobby and are done with it, because they are evidently so through with the hobby that they can’t stop posting about it.
