Dan, I'm sorry about your experience, that really sucks. And Barry is right: there is resentment and people with expensive cards do feel a bit leery about showing them here because of that hidden and not so hidden bad feelings directed at them. I don't think Jim's motives were impure, I just think he collects differently than others on this board. I also don't think some of the hostile reactions were surprising either: after all, anyone who posts here has baseball cards as a top passion, so when they see cards that others' have that they cannot afford it does tend to make them jealous. I feel the same way when I see a card I can't have; it's just human nature. And considering the state of the world right now, perhaps we could be a bit more tolerant of each other? |
