HBO's Real Sports Will Cover Baseball Card Boom

[Exhibitman]

The guy with the jet was taking millions in inventory and $500K in cash with him. If I had that sort of stuff to haul a private jet would be the way to do it. Hell, if I ever decide to move farther than a drive away thats how my modest by comparison collection will go with me. With armed logistics at both ends of the trip and a safe deposit box waiting at the destination city.

As far as the boom (and bust), you know what they say: never wrong, only early.

I don't buy the it is all manipulated stuff. The prices we saw over the weekend in Love of the Game were not shilled, they were real collectors buying cards. Al is as proactive and honest as it gets when it comes to shilling and other games. I trust his integrity to run a clean auction. I've already spoken with some of the winners and underbidders of some of the expensive cards and they are all legit. There is definitely a degree of thievery out there but it is not all-encompassing. If you believe otherwise, just walk away, because this obviously is causing you more distress than enjoyment.
