Interesting story: I met Steve Soloway at the National in Cleveland a few years ago.
My godson Ryan (was around 15 at the time) and I were walking down an aisle. I asked me if my watch was a rolex. I laughed and told him when you see a rolex watch you'll know it. Sure enough about 2 minutes later we were at a booth looking at some cards. A guy stops by and I here Ryan say "Wow.. that must be a rolex!". The guy laughs and says "what's the big deal? I have baseball cards worth more than this watch!". He proceeds to spill out 10 cards that he just received from PSA all with the "Soloway Collection" on the label. The ten cards were worth about $1,000,000 (T206 Wagner included). I wish I had taken a picture. When he left the guys at the booth made a comment about him being a show-off or something. Ryan and I were just happy to see ten of the highest priced baseball cards all at once!
