My opinion is that you can take REA's top lots this year and auction them in my nana's basement or a Popeye's Chicken, and they would do almost if not just as well.
It's the cards. Each discrete card. Not an AH. Not the hobby as a whole. Not one TPG. Not a sticker grade. For elite cards like the Cobb Back and that centered, horizontal-line free M101 Ruth, and the Old Judge White, all that matters is the card.
You put cards like those up for sale and let the collecting community know, and those who are after such pieces will find them, and there will inevitably be more than one wealthy collector who sees the card's beauty/ desirability and bids accordingly.
