King- I think I understand what you are saying except I think the $200 cost of rolling out of bed is too high. I'd love to find a job rolling out of bed for $200 a pop. I could do it all day. But I'm being glib. The one part of your example I might find fault with is for the person who is laying out the $3000, there is anywhere from some pain to much pain writing a check for that amount. Since we are talking about commons needed to build a set, he will probably have to write that same check dozens of time. But for the oldtime collector who has the cards and chooses not to sell them, it is an entirely painless and passive process. There are probably more collectors who already own sets and choose to keep them than there are new collectors starting a T206 set knowing just how much it will cost them to complete it in high grade.
