All sarcasm aside, I genuinely have grown to loathe the term supercollector, and think it is idiotic and childish, even in an already somewhat childish hobby.

Every time I read supercollector now, I think of Big Gay Al singing...I'mmmmm SSSSSUPER, thanks for asking...

NO really...I am an Andre Ethier Super Collector. I have 3 of them!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description ["supercollector"]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it, and the supercollector involved in this case is not that.
—Justice Potter Stewart, concurring opinion in supercollector v. Ohio 378 U.S. 184 (1964), regarding possible supercollectors on FCB.

To the op, just collect what makes you happy and don't worry about labels.

If I could be serious for a minute ...

I submitted for 'the mags' (not Magglio Ordonez, either :benson: ) super collector thing, but I don't consider myself a super collector. I'm a Josh Johnson fan. That's it and that's all.

I thought naming yourself a "super" player collector was an ego thing?

The best, I mean the BEST collections on here don't need a damn title. And don't around naming themselves anything. Just Sayin...

The first rule of being a super player collector is you don't talk about what defines a super player collector

To me it is a meaningless 'title' only used to segregate the hobby in to classes where some are at the top and the vast rest below. Furthermore, I find it almost laughable when self imposed.

Going all Marxist/Conflict Theory on us eh?

I agree. I don't even think there is a way to describe one accurately because as this board, and this topic has proved time and again, it's not something we can wholeheartedly agree upon. In all honesty, I think it's just a good way to explain to others that you're not F'ing around.
