Awesome story but I feel like there has to be more people out there with more than 4 million cards.

Yeah, yeah, Debbie Downer here...

Idaho Falls is where I got my first minor league foul ball, and I gave it to a little guy sitting near me. He was super psyched!

That city in general is fantastic and completely surprised me how much I enjoyed it.

I had a friend and his wife at my place the other night and explained a little about my collection and box breaks as I was interested in potentially hiring her to help with my business

She then proceeded to say anyone who collects cards is a hoarder and asked me if I have ever seen any of those shows on AMC. Good times

Did you tell her how much your collection was worth? That usually puts them in their place lol

Good for him. Some times it's about cards. Not the money. Not the rarity. Just the cards.

Exactly my reaction.

Essentially yes, I believe Rob (and family) owns the entire business. He has employees, sure, but he's effectively the owner of 40M+ sports cards. It's not like he's going to spend his time hounding press for a meaningless article like this, though.
