He succeeded in the value of the card going way up, though naturally there's no way of really knowing how many he had (or if/when he's sold them).
What stands out to me is that he began doing this over 5 years ago (but in all that time, nothing has changed with the card's "toughness" or price trend). Usually when there's a pump and dump or really artificial move higher in an asset's value, the rise and fall happens in just a matter of months. People are impatient to make their quick buck and move on.
But since that hasn't happened yet with the Bartirome after all this time, I didn't want to take the chance of the card (or the perception of it) continuing to get more difficult to find in upcoming years, and it becoming that much more expensive.
