Please explain your track record.

are actually just well heeled collectors with tons and tons of money. Some are athletes, some are actually team owners, and yes some came from wall street and silicon valley. I would be careful assuming they have no love for the game or hobby simply because they are extremely wealthy. I think its pretty cool that cards are being looked at more on the level with other high end collectibles. Like others stated lots of people my age grew up with baseball cards as a key part of our lives and many of these people have made boatloads of coin and are in a great position.

Glyn,
I'm not so sure the big players in REA are team owners, athletes, wall street, and silicon valley types. Rather, I think they are just wealthy lawyers, doctors, executives, business owners, etc,... who have a lot of disposable income to buy baseball cards. I'm sure they can afford up to a few hundred thousands, but I don't know if they can afford spending into the millions of dollars within one auction.

Yes but who knows for sure who are the big players in the REA auction? We know for a fact that there are team owners and athletes who are big collectors though.
