A group of people that run up the prices on certain cards to insane prices. Then they sold theirs for way more than they were really worth. They also rarely if ever paid for the cards they used to inflate the prices.

It happens all the time and is easy to do. Just they went way overboard compared to how it is usually done. I refer to it as pump and dump.

The "buyers group" was a name given to the unnamed 5-20 buyers who scooped up a bunch of 1950s-60s Hall of Fame rookie cards in high grades intending to spike the market.

Here are some threads:

I think I named them the "buying group" actually.

I heard a handful came from a retirement home in Florida who fronted some capital to get it all started.

I didn't know that Bill Mastro had retired to Florida.

Damn Chase that is cool. Wonder where the original resides and what that sucker would sell for???!!!

I have seen the photo used for his 1952 Berk Ross which is a pretty awesome diving pose. If it had been a higher quality card he'd have two of the all-time great Baseball cards!
