I have mixed feelings over this 1952 Topps Find.

I understand that they weren't insanely popular when he bought them, after all, he couldn't get the money he wanted for the Mantles and sold ten OC examples for only $10,000 USD. I also understand that he paid $125,000 USD for the whole thing and I'm not sure how many dealers were willing to do that back then. However, in the end he grossed about half a million dollars. Is this the biggest robbery that ever took place in the hobby? What are your thoughts?
