If You Can Sell It Here, You Can Sell It Anywhere

Jim,

You do understand how it sounds when you accuse someone else of making a thread into "class warfare," then follow up with a statement like, "I think the psa 8 collector who loves his/her cards is now the backbone of the hobby," don't you?

Take out the "psa 8" from your statement, and nobody disagrees with you. But add it in and you, not Bob, have made it about class differences and relative criticality to the hobby.

Maybe "hobby" and "business" are synonymous for you, and that's fine if it's what brings you joy. I can certainly see that on the financial side, the people buying psa 8's are pouring more money into the cards than most of the rest of us -- but on the hobby side, it all falls apart without people who are enthusiastic and passionate about the cards at every level.

I have no interest in Bruce's proposal. I fail to see how it makes the hobby better for 95+% of collectors. But, hey -- as long as it doesn't affect access to what I collect, have fun with it.
