I wouldn't worry about it long-term, though I'd just put it on the back burner for now. You could also just check for his cards more often, because some are likely going to slip through the cracks from people who don't know.
This collector might have endless amounts of money, but getting enough of these cards that they are harder to find than cards like O'Hara and Demmitt would take years to do. The price will then eventually settle down. Maybe you have to pay more than you would have two months ago, but it's not going to be crazy.
