Cornering the market on one card?

Posted By: Todd

under the scenario you described, the hoarder will likely have to wait, and will have projected time as his ally. Since supply is theoretically fixed, he can only make money if demand increases (unless some fool or two bid amounts that don't reflect market sales). So he waits for player collectors, team collecors and set collectors to bolster their collections to the point where they are looking very hard at acquiring this particular card and are having trouble finding it, then he releases one and waits for the feedng frenzy. Of course, all this assumes that other economic factors, especially overall disposable income, remain substantially the same.
