Absolutely over the moon for you all! Some of the best people in the hobby, bar none! Really appreciate you giving us a run-down not just of the process in acquiring, but of giving us all an insight into what's in the collection, what you paid for it, and no doubt giving us future updates on how you all go with sales. So transparent, and so informative! Mike: Is there enough cream in it to get your grail card you've always wanted - the '52 Mantle? Wouldn't that be something! WAY TO GO, LADS! Really please for all of you!

Congrats on the find of a lifetime Mike! Very happy for you and Chris. I am sure Keating took his finders fee. I have never been so inspired by a collection and equally depressed knowing I will probably never get there. I hope one day to find a tenth of that collection and I will sit around drinking whiskey and taking it all in. Congrats again!

My guess is that people who actually spend this kind of money on sports cards are incredibly far and few between. To get numbers at 100% value when selling that many cards and such quality cards, that’s just not possible. That’s how bulk buying in any industry goes. Also, to get 50-90% of comps on every single card would require a lot of “nickel and diming” every single card almost individually to get those prices.
