I saw a similar topic on a different board, and I'm eager to hear responses from fellow TCCers.
What do you enjoy the most about this hobby?
For me, it's the thrill of getting a nice pack pull and interacting with other collectors.

I honestly like nothing in this hobby anymore.
The overpriced garbage the companies put out now. The Asinine people that think they are better than you because of what they have. People who use Gimmick words now, I.E "hit", "Come Strong" Seeing a post from someon 2 minutes after you posted saying they did'nt see anythign they could use, when it's obvious they did'nt look at your bucket or site. The back stabbing that happenes alot more than everyone will admit too. Someone that thinks because a card is older than them its gotta be worth a ton. People who complain that GU are junk, but only want those in return.
Not to sound like a whinner or bitter, but the hobby stinks, and is just gonna get worse. Hopefully I can finish the few sets a have to do and get out.
Looking to finish the sets listed on my site and the following: 2005 Donruss Champions GU 2003 Topps KaneboI require scans for any card I trade for.Also looking for these players: Michael Barrett Reed Johnson Eric Daze John Elway (No auto or GU) BlackhawksI will always consider Vintage in trade from before 1975 , Any sport DO NOT OFFER TO SELL ME CARDSIf you have less than 10 Trades you must send first unless you can show me great referencesIf your user name is this color I am afraid I'll have to pass on any proposed transactions at this time.

You forgot to add the overuse/misuse/abuse of the term 'high-end'.
Pre-war cards(baseball, horse racing)
Collect for pleasure and you will always find happiness.
