I love that you always keep that sense of humor, many top sellers just adopt this serious mature “grown up” persona to mask themselves. Keep it up Scott ! ---

@garyis2000, would you be at all sad if someone simply bought your cards outright? I had a dream once where I listed a card for a crazy high value, but suddenly it sold because the market caught up and I was distraught. Some serious collector dream right there… ---
