he spent five million on his collection. At least not that which was sold.

I've heard (from numerous sources) about his acquisition of the Clemente rookie, for which he paid $250k.

I know the person that sold him the Jeter rookie, and Dmitri sold for a multiple of price paid.

I sold the Fergie Jenkins rookie to Dave Bailey.

I am quite sure that Dmitri did very well on a large number of cards he bought. He did lose some money on a number of the smaller cards (1971 OPC Greg Luzinski PSA 10, for example), but you should not believe he sold his collection of rookie cards at a 50% loss. That is simply not factual.
