I don't know how you could pick vintage baseball cards to make your living and not have any appreciation for baseball history. I don't believe I've ever met anyone in this hobby who thinks like that.

And not sure what you're talking about in regards to Fergie Jenkins, but I am heading up to Canada for the American Association All Star game in a couple of weeks (I actually love baseball that much) and will be having lunch with Mr Jenkins.

That's a nice offer Sean, makes me wish I lived up that way.

Agreed. There's something Sean isn't telling us, but that's his business. I believe him when he says he has no passion or interest for sports, but I completely disagree with the statement that was quoted earlier. The passions helps, not hinders. The exception would be if you have self-control problems and use your capital to buy personal items, but that is true of anything in life for people with such problems. Granted, such a person, if they could not get a grip on their problems, should probably find a different business - one that doesn't involve handling money.

Also, most of the time alcoholics make bad bartenders.

If you have no love for the hobby then this post is purely a marketing move whether these particular cards are for sale or not.

From my point of view, this forum is best when it is collectors talking to each other about their passion. Business is fine but on the main page?

Edited to add: the sportscard show below has yet to make a profit so please don't fire back at me for advertising it. If I wanted to make money, I certainly wouldn't be doing a card show!

It's funny how circumstances sometimes just kind of work themselves out.

In reading the statement from Sean's site I think it is rather genius. You have to realize the site is for buying, not selling. We can all find buyers for our vintage cards, what we can't find is sellers who will sell fresh, unknown finds in bulk at wholesale prices. By separating emotional value and investment value he helps his seller be a seller. Rather than saying your gramps left you a lifetime of baseball passion he is saying your gramps left you XX dollars, would you like it now? As most of us on here are passionate and collectors we look at the words and are almost offended. From a business point of view the words soften the emotional blow by taking the passion our of it.

In light of all of the evidence in this thread...I don't see how this thread can be considered anything but a grand marketing scheme for the eventual sale of these cards...which I thought was frowned upon in this section of the board.

These cards will never be for sale.

He should have maybe said that they will never be for sale from himself, which is the issue that is being questioned. Who can say what our buyers of our cards will do with them? This wasn't a marketing thread for those cards.

If someone else is selling them, or if he already has sold them, then the words are form over substance in the context of what seems to be the concern people have expressed in this thread. But that said, I don't see why it matters if he selling or sold them or not?
