Default Anyone ever tried to Corner the Market on a Particular Card?

My avatar shows the card I once owned 40 copies of. Currently down to 12 with one selling on the 'bay this week.

But seriously, have any of you either successfully or not made an attempt to hoard all copies of an issue?

I tried to buy all the 1988 Donruss Tom Glavines but fell short.

I had a buddy who had over 500 1989 Topps Steve Avery rookie cards- that went pretty well for him...

I wasn't exactly trying to hoard them, but at one point I had 3 of the 7 graded e92 Nadja Jennings and knew where 3 more were (1 in each of the top 2 registry sets and 1 in a board member's Jennings collection). Traded 1 of mine to another board member for his Jennings back run this summer.

T206 Honus Wagner. Terrific card. I had 3 at one point and wanted to get the rest. One person actually had the rest for sale, and I was in the middle of making a deal with him when...


... I woke up. What a dream.
