To all,

When I think of the words "largest collection" I think of total volume (in this instance cards) and NOT total value. So, the guy with 500,000 cards in his parent's garage would have a large collection.

The T206 Gretzky Honus Wagner could be the only card in that person's collection (not likely and not getting into whether the card is trimmed or not) and, if based on total value, could vault them into the upper ranks as far as total value goes.

So, collection rank in total cards, near the bottom. Collection rank in value of cards, near the top.

On a different note, where would a dealer fit into this discussion?? Guys like the late Larry Fritsch or Kit Young? They have collections, it is just their's are for sale and change on a fairly regular basis.

Just my two cents,

David
