Half of said collectors are confused or otherwise put off by this announcement; the other half are salivating for the chance at some exciting pick-ups.

Well said. Part of the confusion for me at least, is if said million-dollar-collection is indeed real AND worth a million dollars, why in the world would someone with that kind of money throw it away without any sort of knowledge on the subject matter he/she is purchasing?

Awaiting an update. Presumably it shouldn't take too many more days for the buyer who doesn't know crap (well, knows a lot about somethings) to locate the horde of 1000s of T206s he just bought.

I'm going to pop some popcorn in case it does get crazy, which is presumably looks like it will. I mean how do you have thousands of T206s and not know where they are in the collection you recently purchased? I understand those cards are smaller, but in this mass quantity they could suffocate someone.
