And this is just one guy. Another guy has the entire G1 Japanese run, all MISB, all AFA graded. Now imagine there are another 70+ collectors like him (cos that's the size of that invite only group, which I'm a part of but a small potato to be sure).


Wow!....
I've always been aware as to the existence of this type of collector, but now that I've got a much firmer grasp and understanding of collecting...

My mind boggles at these guys as surely their resistance to temptation, determination in procuring, diligence in handling and their ability to throw huge sums of their earnings into their passion, is truly astounding!
I've the utmost respect and amazement in your approach to collecting Heroic, but from what you've described above mate - these guys are on a completely different level huh?


I believe this falls into the Rare and Cheap categories, at least as of late anyway:
