Scott MWell, I guess is all relative - if I had say 5 or 6 Million sitting around earning 5% I'd gladly take half of that 5% and blow it on cards each year - which would make the prices in the auction irrelevant.
Of course since I'll be heading back to work tomorrow, that isn't the case. I went 0 for 0 as I refuse to pay $75 for the priveledge of bidding.
Seriously, I actually think that in many cases people will pay a premium for the sheer quantity of vintage material they can accumulate at one time. If your a highly paid corporate exec with little time or live in a rural part of the country - the ability to in essence get 7 or 8 starter sets at once is attractive. At the end of the day, pieces of cardboard are worth whatever someone is willing to pay and this auction house has some buyers willing to pay.
