There is no wrong way to collect and this is truly an amazing collection.
I guess the concern is passe, but I do wonder if some of those 8s and 9s had some help.

That '55 Bowman mantle 10 looks like it would grade a 7 today.

I am guessing most of his cards were graded quite a long time ago when standards were more lenient. I would be less concerned about that than if some were not entirely natural. Hopefully that is not the case. But reality being what it is, it would not surprise me. Either way quite a remarkable achievement.

I think the greatest collection in the world is probably Burdick's in storage at the MET or maybe the Fritsch family stuff. Maybe also the OJ authors.

You just have to respect the eccentric understatement of a guy wearing a stretched out Amazon basics sweatshirt that looks like he traded a homeless guy a tuna sandwich for, still having fun with a 100m+ collection after all these years. It's hard not to like.

To make Jeff speechless is an accomplishment! That was a fun video to watch and just an amazing collection and attitude to have.

Thanks!

The LOC also has an impressive collection. The online version is had to use, but they have a good collection.

I totally forgot about the LOC collection. And I do think they could/should do a better job of sharing it online.

It's fun to see how humble he is. He's like a kid in a candy store.

Halper’s collection was more remarkable than Fogel’s IMHO.

Still a killer collection.

Nice to see the enjoyment for the cards and spreading them out like commons.

For those who are both absurdly wealthy and enjoy handling their cards like this, the practical security needs must be an annoyance. I’d be scared to have a tenth of that sitting around.

I wonder what the insured value of this collection is... $100 million?

Yes, the majority of these have been altered, and most were graded back when today's NM cards were given 10s & 9s. But it's still an epic collection that I'd be ecstatic to own. I just choose to ignore the fact that 80% of the value in his collection comes from the holders rather than the cards and focus on how cool the cards themselves still are.

I'm also in the camp of being more interested in rare cards in any condition than popular cards in great condition, but I'm happy to see how much joy he gets from the hobby.
