The problem is twofold: after the consortium of dealers (Coalition of the
Selling) have killed themselves off, the last one standing still has to
compete with 500,000 Mexican Lobby Cards...

I disagree Rich
If a consortium were to pool resources and then sell through
an auction house or via a website - pool the profits and divide by
those involved.
The problem would be if Joe Schmo wants X for himself and
Charlie Farnsbarn wants Y for himself it comes down then to valuing
the items that would be for personal collections

the likelihood we dealers could split this up in any fashion and not
kill each other in the process is about zero
