I think the answer to Bruce's initial inquiry turns on whether the population of wealthy collectors will increase, decrease or remain constant during the period in which he continues to collect. I don't know the answer. But based upon Scott's statement that current figures show a downward trend, my concern would be a continuation of that trend due to adverse economic conditions and aging baby boomers. Even assuming such a continuing trend, though, I suspect that true rarities would be more likely to retain their value (or perhaps even increase in value) than more common pre-war cards and memorabilia.

I agree that Rob has more people spending 50K in an auction than the average auction, however I think that is because he only has one auction a year, and his per lot average is probably higher than everybody else for that reason.
Lets say Rob has 30 people spend over 50K in his auction. Those 30 people probably spend about that much in all other auctions combined over the course of a year. Mark absolutely hit the nail on the head. The good stuff is always good. Collectors and Investors both want it keeping the price high. It is that way in coins, stamps, cards, etc. Everything else will rise and fall depending on the economy or a couple of collectors entering or leaving the market.

So what is the point of this post? There isn't one. If there is a point - who cares? It is meaningless. No one cares.

If nobody cares....
It rather amuses us that so many people get so emotional when we raise the issues of high value collectibles. One does not speak about the world of art
without a long discussion on Impressionist paintings. And in the world of coins there are well over 5000 US coins sold in each year with a value of 100K or more. The questioning with regard to what we do with our money was not one we raised. We are playing by the rules, Dan Bretta. We do think that we bring a level of energy to the Board that appears to lack, so we wonder on "what grounds" you could possibly raise an objection. Finally, whilst baseball memorabilia is a hobby, it is certainly first and foremost (like coins, art, antiques) a business. Otherwise the providers of material would not be called Dealers. In every hobby there is fierce competition. Whilst grading services and lists of who owns what is limited to comic books, coins, stamps and cards (because of grading), the very fact that there are hundreds of collectible auctions every year is testimony to the American love for competition. In auctions, like in life, you either win or lose. We are fiercely competitive, and when we want an item that we can afford, we will spare nothing to determine a way to acquire. We view all of those who collect what we do as the competition. And we love the battle. Albeit on occasion we make a typo, we enjoy the Board. In fact, our last three BTW have resulted in 8 purchases. Hope all of you have a good weekend. Don't lose your sense of humor or your sense of reality.

The rest of "we" is going to be pissed when they find out everything is in Bruce's name and they are not in the will.
