We See Opportunities Where Others Don't

"Life is about competition

Whether it is for baseball cards
Winning the pennant
For political power
For Oil
And For Water (soon to be a major geopolitical issue)
A seat on the train
A mate
Golf
or anything else

There are only two outcomes in competition
winners and losers

If one want to acquire the very best one can afford
one must study the market, understand the competition,
take risks and be able to act quickly. Take no prisoners.

This is a billion dollar business, regardless of whether
or not you choose to call it a hobby. The average lot
price in Robert Edward Auction or the major Mastro auctions
exceeds $5000.

One must do anything one can (within the law) to achieve one's
goals. We greatly admire the hedge fund mega stars. They have
the intelligence, courage and savvy to move ahead...

We often wonder why hundreds of people wait in an orderly line
for a taxi on a rainy day...when one can walk a block and grab the cab,

As a lifelong Yankee fan...we believe, if you don't win the World
Series, it is a losing season. True success in this hobby is about winning.
And one wins someone else loses"

You are a scary dude, Bruce:

It's not a billion dollar business; it's a freakin' pastime.

It isn't a competition; it is a hobby where most of the participants come to spend some weight-lightening time with friends in the pursuit of enjoyment and nostalgia.

It's not a single set of goals; there are as many goals as there are collectors.

True success isn't about winning; it is about being satisfied with what you have and how you got there.

If you can't see that, you are never going to be satisfied no matter how big a mound of slabs you hoard under your bed.
