I have been "scorned" several times now (usually by the same person who always claims to be speaking for the masses) for being a "boaster" or a "show off" or a "snob" for posting pictures of my cards on this site. |

I really appreciate seeing scans of cards in posts. I particularly like the recent pick-up threads mostly because I nearly always see a card in those threads that I have never seen before (either in a scan or in person). |

Keep doing it the way you are doing it Hal. Like you always say Hal, people should collect what they want to and people should also share how and if they want to. I think the people who think you are being snobbish are just jealous. I don't consider any of your sharing to have been boastful. Heck I would have acted a lot more boastful if I had purchased a Wagner. I am personally thankful for people like you that are willing to share. My 13 year old son and I LOVE looking at your sight. I think you will find a majority of the people want you to share. |

...is that you do not make posts which are designed to put other people down. You share your collecting experiences without trying to exclude others, based on wealth, condition or collection size. You would never start a thread like "Name The Five Richest Collectors Of Vintage Cards," and then show yourself somewhere on that list or use it as a forum to constantly discuss your Honus Wagner card. Those are the kinds of threads that rub some people, myself included, the wrong way. |

Good point Peter. I don't think there is anything wrong with the person who gets satisfaction out of hoarding his own stash and not sharing. I just wish they wouldn't. |

Hal, please continue to share. I do agree with you that cards are like art. However, unlike the paintings I proudly display and my house guests enjoy...I can't do that with cards. Generally, "normal" people don't appreciate the card collection and I hate being asked the question of "how much is that card?" |

I love seeing other's cards - and it frustrates me that there are so many advanced collectors out there who not only do not share images of their collections - but will not share knowledge in terms of updating checklists, etc. |

Show what you want. Who cares what others think? Most of the issues simply center around jealousy. That's why God is so hard on the issue of "covetousness". It's an ugly thing. I for one, enjoy seeing many cards I might never otherwise see. And whether your motivation is boasting or sharing is really irrelevant to the equation. |

Hal, I would be disappointed if you didn't show your cards. Please continue to do so. I'd much rather look at your latest E107 aquisition than some bickering fight about PSA/SGC/GAI any day. |

Why would anyone complain about someone sharing? People do it all the time in the monthly new acquistions threads. Keep sharing those scans Hal. |

I really did mean it as a joke. If you took my comments other than that I apologize. I love your collection and want to see as much of it as I can. Just in case you are speaking of me I didn't mean anything by my comment. |

I appreciate people who share their cards with the rest of us who may have no chance at actually seeing them in person and i know Hals a good enough man that if i visited my family who lives very close to him he would show me the cards in person with minimal security present |

Hal- You are a friend and a credit to the board both in the knowledge you share with everyone as well as the pictures of your wonderful cards. You are bright and have a great sense of humor, something that I appreciate greatly. You have gone out of your way to do generous things for me and have always been a gentleman. I do recognize that some who can not afford all these rare cards may feel you are boasting a bit, but that is America. I will also add that I sometimes feel that if you get on network54 and say "good morning" the wrong way, a war of words will likely break out. It seems like anything around here can get people agitated. |
