On an interesting side note, I knew a guy who got a job working for the Beckett baseball price guide. Part of his job was gathering prices from dealers and such, calculating prices and such. He was just a regular worker and no big wig. He told me that Beckett forbade him buying and selling baseball cards, at least on a regular basis. I don't think it was against house rules to buy a Mickey Mantle for his nephew's birthday or perhaps even for himself once in a while, but he couldn't deal. When he got the job, he sold of a lot of his collection because he knew he couldn't sell them while working there. He did keep a few cards as part of his personal collection.
