Since it was my thread that is causing a stir, thought I'd chime in to say I'm really not offended.
I'm approaching 10 years on these boards and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that we all collect different things, have different passions, and have different budgets to support those passions. I've also reached an age where I realize no matter how great or impressive a collection grows, you can't take it with you when you go, so enjoy life, enjoy your passions, and enjoy what you collect, no matter the cost.
For those that enjoyed the blasters/"had my back", I appreciate the kind words and support. For those that didn't, perhaps my next post will. Either way, now I'll post probably post more updates to my blaster collection just to annoy you all!
Have a great weekend, and Happy Early Father's Day to all you dads out there!!
You don't know- what you don't know -until you think you know something. Every day i am reminded I am a newbie. When the 5 year old is on the iPad doing more than I can.
You make the mistake I made -- - I assumed an PSA 9 (OC) was valued in between an 8 and a 9. Boy, did I think I was so smart for a few days. Inexperience cost me some cash and I now have a lot of 9 OC cards.

Ouch. That hits close to home. I am far from a newbie, but I cannot post pictures.

It has a lot to do with what's inside.

You believe that you're 1987 Topps hand-collated set is worth $40.00!
You insist that a PSA 9 OC is worth the same as an unqualified PSA 9!
You believe that every auction that you lose was shill bid!
You believe that every auction that you win was shill bid!
You believe that every card you sell sells for less than everyone else because everyone else shill bids!
You believe that holding onto rookie cards when they've peaked is a sound investment for the future!
