The high-rollers need to be separated from the rest. You show the doorman your ID and it gets logged into their system. That way, they know exactly who is inside.

And the buyers who deal with the big boys need protection too. Imagine you wanna' get your hands on a PSA 7 Aaron RC. You bring with you some high-end cards (trade bait) and some cash. You wanna' go where you can feel safe, right? More security ... more cameras ... and a check has been done on everyone ...

If this is the way they did things, then NO WAY would Ash have had his cards stolen ... no freaking way ...
I actually don't think you could convince the high-end dealers to segregate themselves for a number of reasons.
