Haha, many have claimed to be "pure collectors" (including some of the most reputable/OG collectors in the hobby, including BO members) and cashed out once the money became too good to pass up.
Although some still exist, most have or will eventually cash out once a target price-point is reached (or card prices abruptly drops and FOMO on profits kicks in).
Nothing wrong with those cashing out on great plays either. But very rare in the current hobby landscape are those who are "pure collectors", most have transitioned to hybrid collector/flippers...and once again, nothing wrong with that.
