Trevor- No one is suggesting that because somebody spends huge sums of money that he is not a true collector and doesn't know what he is doing. But when a few collectors have so much money that they can pretty much get whatever they want regardless of the price, it does skew the market a bit for top end material. And as I said on a different post, it does mean some of the prices realized are not a fair assessment of what something is worth. Take the heavy hitters off a lot, and the price may plummet. A very small number have a large control over what high end items sell for.
