you love to see it!

Awesome story but I feel like there has to be more people out there with more than 4 million cards.

Yeah, yeah, Debbie Downer here...

Why isn’t he listed on Forbes’ billionaire list?

Waiting for tone deaf to call this guy a loser.

Classy move by Tim Flannery there. So cool.

A+ post!

Idaho Falls is where I got my first minor league foul ball, and I gave it to a little guy sitting near me. He was super psyched!

That city in general is fantastic and completely surprised me how much I enjoyed it.

Is he standing in line at multiple targets for 10 hours? lol

Randallk34 04-23-2021 02:16 PM

He looks like the Cowgirls head coach, spacing on the name right now

I had a friend and his wife at my place the other night and explained a little about my collection and box breaks as I was interested in potentially hiring her to help with my business

She then proceeded to say anyone who collects cards is a hoarder and asked me if I have ever seen any of those shows on AMC. Good times

My girlfriend thought the same thing when I started mailing my packages to her! Now she is starting to collect!

Good for him. Some times it's about cards. Not the money. Not the rarity. Just the cards.

[QUOTE=mrb842;17254087]Burbank has 44 million. How is this a real story?[/QUOTE]

Exactly my reaction.

[QUOTE=salthill;17254091]Is Burbank a man?[/QUOTE]

Essentially yes, I believe Rob (and family) owns the entire business. He has employees, sure, but he's effectively the owner of 40M+ sports cards. It's not like he's going to spend his time hounding press for a meaningless article like this, though.
