I didn't see it quite way though I see how it could be interpreted like that.
I saw it like he was having fun showing the hobby and/or public his passion. I am guessing he has connections to get something re-holdered if he wants to. If it's about having fun, as we all say it should, then he was living it in that video. My 1st national (I think), maybe 2nd, it was around '99 or 2000, I had dinner with him, Scott B, Doug Allen and one other person, whom I don't remember. That was an interesting night.
For me, personally, I collect rarity but that doesn't diminish his collection an iota. It's a historic and great collection, he has. All things considered, that '52 Mantle, is possibly the nicest baseball card in existence. And this coming from someone who, if value was no consideration, would rather have lot's of other cards. Great stuff!
