Re: [MOPO] Is there something wrong with this hobby?

I think that the only people who think there is "something wrong with this hobby" are some dealers and many investors, who have seen sales slow, and some prices drop. For collectors, I don't know that there has ever been a better time to be in this hobby. There are thousands of true no reserve auc
