Default Will provenance become more important?

Hi Leon,
I believe what Harry is talking about is when the collection is noted on the Flip I.E. Lionel Carter Collection,The Skydash Collection, The MR "X" Collection. I do believe in some of the collections (baseball wise) that only a few of the collections would really warrant paying a real serious premium. As I have seen alot of the cards really werent in that great condition to start with and to pay a premium just to own that card IMO just because it was once owned by a long time collector when there are many others out there in better condition I think is dollars spent foolishly. Yes I could see owning maybe 1 example from each collection just to say "yes" I own a carter etc. but to over spend just because of the flip that wouldnt be my first priority. The Eliasberg collection is a different story (its coins) and a very prominent collection in the coin collecting world. Leon by the way thats a beautiful card you have there!!!!!!!!
