Information overload

The internet is a great and powerful tool, and I've been fortunate to have access to it for the better part of the past 15 years.  With the internet, I've met a lot of great people, and some that aren't so great.

That's life in a nutshell, internet or no internet.  You're going to meet some great people, and you're going to run into some assholes.

Speaking of assholes, opinions have been compared to them.  Everyone has one of them, and more often than not they can be a little bit shitty.  But what's great about the internet is that you have access to thousands of these opinions.

What I realized tonight is a problem that I have to deal with.  The ability to take these opinions and enjoy them for their entertainment value.   The information overload that I've inflicted on myself because there are so many opinions is my own fault, as is the inability to process the opinions properly. 

Most of the time I will look at opinions about a certain card, certain set or certain player and take them as the gospel.  It's time for that to end. 

I like what I like.  I guess it's as simple as that.  Whether it be a modern release such as 2013 Heritage:

Or an older set such as 1970 Topps that isn't as widely collected:

It's multi player rookie card night just in case you hadn't noticed

If I like it, I'm going to collect it.  Simple as that.

Keep on writing your opinions.  My recent realization that what you're writing is purely entertainment and doesn't belong in the Book of Genesis will help me to enjoy what you're saying even more.

Even if I don't agree with it. 

thank you for reading, Robert
