Only tangentially related...I was reading a bit last night about Lionel Carter.
As many know, he had one of the greatest collections ever assembled and was (for a collector) fairly high profile. Around 2006 (from memory) he suffered a break-in and theft of part of his collection. He was in his late 80s at the time. He and his wife were so shaken up by it that he pretty much immediately set about selling the collection that he had taken a lifetime to assemble. Within a couple years, he passed away. Apparently after the sale he scarcely wanted to talk about cards and collecting anymore. This story saddened me, but it made me understand why some collectors guard their privacy. Cheers, Blair
