Agreed that just because someone has the ability to write a million dollar check doesn't make him a great collector. To make the list, one has to be a lot more well rounded than that. I've always admired the collector who maybe didn't have a lot of money to spend but was resourceful and knowledgeable, and was still able to amass a great collection by working hard and using every skill he could. That was always my definition of a great collector.
