To answer Leon's question, I suppose you could inherit a great collection and not be a great collector, but great collections are usually put together by people who know how to do it. In the old days when cards weren't that expensive and most of us were on a somewhat even playing field, it took resourcefulness and hard work to build a great collection. Today, it just takes a computer, an auction catalog, and a big wallet. You push a few buttons at 2:00 in the morning and voila, you have a great collection. Times certainly have changed.
