Another problem lately are the sharks looking to make a finders fee. I know of at least 3 and maybe more collectors who search ebay and find things that the person has which are Mastronet/big auction type material, then e mail either the auction house or the seller and convince them to consign the item, then the collector who refers the deal gets a cut which is much larger than I had thought would be in line for something like this. If these things ended up going to a big Auction and selling for $5K-15K each, it would not be out of the question for the "finder" to receive $3000+ for doing the leg work of getting the seller and auction house to make a deal and having never even touched the cards. I think it sucks, but that is the Free Market well at work in America.
