You might be thinking, "what, someone else collects this stuff?" In fact, yes. they do.
While speaking with him and comparing our collections, I think it fueled a bit of a fire in me to best his collection. He has a ton of high end cut autographs, low numbered cards, bat cards and some vintage. Nothing short of a great collection.
