Because I'm Carlos

This one is a little open-ended, but my latest mail day of a 2018 Topps Chrome UFC Autograph Daniel Cormier got me thinking about how I enjoy cycling through different collecting projects and how they tend to cycle through various “seasons” in my collecting journey.

The description above is key as they did not pay $5.9 million, but rather 51% of that to account for their ownership stake. I argue why I don't believe this to be a valid "sale" even if it can be a valid transaction or financial arrangement. I also p...
