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.

QUOTE 5. Going thru a box of commons from 04-05 and finding 3 Carey Price rookies! Going thru my old "higher value" box and finding guys that not worth the $90 a ton recycle rate for cardboard Marinovich and the like, but brings back the old days, and keeps me in perspective when others are chasing "who's hot" at this current time frame, hindsight always 20/20. But seriously 1. I enjoy pulling a sweet card out of a pack or box, makes me feel like a kid again or in some cases like I won on a lottery ticket. Like when I pull an AU, even if it's not a current hot player or when I pull a sweet looking GU card (those RPMs are sweet, not sure what it is about them but they like eye candy to me ) 2. Love this site as I can trade for players I want for players I don't want (or in some cases players I never heard of that someone wants for vice versa). 3. The feeling of an "extended family" that TCC has given me, that adds to the hobby for me (I probably wouldn't have got back into the hobby if I hadn't found this site). 4. Having a closet of cards that I can spend hours getting lost in and still not have any idea what I really have in there, though got some of the listed RCs pulled out of my duplicate boxes in FB over the last few weeks, found a few over 20BV so that was just like a pack pull with those (blast from the past)

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'.
