As a collector, I agree with Jim that it is much better to buy a card from a dealer with whom one has a good relationship than out of an auction where, even apart from concerns about bid practices (which I don't happen to share), there is no right of return if you don't like the card, no opportunity to trade, etc. etc. While obviously auction houses continue to flourish, I hope that eventually, over time, more people will consign their collections to dealers like the ones Jim mentioned to sell for them.
