Agreed, but I sure can't blame Jamie for wanting to protect himself. Selling 30 Cobb red portraits at once, especially rare and high value ones, is bound to over-saturate the market and lead to lower realized prices than hoped. There are only so many collectors out there who want and can afford some of these cards, and even they have limits to how many they can pick up in any one given auction.
I'm still in complete awe of this accomplishment.
