Last year I came in contact with the Thome buyer as he just was starting out. He funded my entire Griffey collection. He would literally overnight me cash sometimes. In about 6 months I made about 50k from him and I wasn't the only guy he was buying from. He was tons of stuff off eBay at the same time. It was just sheer luck I got outbid on 3 Thome cards and asked the seller to contact him. I sold my intitial Thome collection to him for $800 I paid $300 for. If I knew how much he really would of paid it was worth like 10k to him!
We can all hope to mind someone like that one day. Could be drug money, money laundering, won the lotto and bored who knows!
I am right their with you...and I agree, I dream of having someone like this who has cash to burn and will pay astronomical figures for certain cards just because. That still doesn't take away from the stupidity of burning what is probably in excess of 100K on cards that could/should have cost them 10K if they were smart about it.
