If this was Ruth, Wagner or Cobb, you can justify going hard after something you want. For a common player, I think recent trends do come into play.
If he's a billionaire, yes, I think he doesn't care about losing 1 million. I also don't think the sort of person who becomes a billionaire is the sort of person who is inclined to pay 1000% more for something as common as a junk wax era base card than what it was selling for a couple of years earlier. Let alone do so twice.
