Why do you use words that you don't have understanding of to label people?

preservationist vs a collector. Maybe if you understand the difference it will set you free, but I'm not counting on it. I'm not looking for monetary gain or something having intrinsic value. There's several of us trying to keep the historic value of our town alive. There's no financial aspect or gain for those doing so. Keep grasping for that last blade of grass!

You used collecting/collection/collector to describe yourself and your activities, while also insisting it’s wrong. I didn’t label you, you did. Read the transcript, , I even quoted you doing it several times. Or better yet, go touch grass. This is the most bitching anyone has ever done over their shitty offer getting rejected. This is pathetic lol.

And I already explained as much more than once. You have an issue with trying to paint your own picture instead of listening to what someone stated. How many posts have you made, and yet you still haven't even touched the question posed.

Nah its your bitching about something you misrepresented, and can't let go lof it.

The transcript shows I was one of the first posts answering questions from the OP.

I did listen to what you said. That’s how I was able to quote and observe your direct contradictions. You collect and have a collection in your own direct words, then bitch and moan if someone calls you a collector.

You stewed over it all weekend and came back because you literally couldn’t drop it. “Can’t let go of it” lol.

It’s nobodies fault but your own that you have contradicted yourself repeatedly. Throwing a bitch fit over a crappy offer being rejected is not going to bring support. You aren’t entitled to anything. Everyone except you gets it. Put your adult pants on, and grow up.

“The hobby” and “your personal interests” are two different things. How is it hurting the hobby for other collectors to not put your collecting over their own? People are not obligated to sell/trade you a card because you want it. There’s a few items I’d like that people won’t sell, but they aren’t hurting the hobby by keeping them and declining my overpay offer. None of us are entitled to an item. Especially if you’re trying to trade them an objectively worse item for an objectively better item. Why would somebody trade you a higher grade copy for a lower grade one? That’s a very bad deal for them.

I guess you’re probably trying to counter my first point? See post 6 of the thread, you skipped it to copy this in from later. You can do it.

I did actually miss that one. Problem is, it doesn't help your case much.

The ones who cut up and destroy unique material before even documenting it, hurting research and knowledge. And the fraudsters.

I don't see how collecting in different ways would hurt "the hobby". To each, their own.

That was the secondary question and still doesn't help your stance at this point.
