The thought of cross over collectors had struck me however the bidding on the Marilyn strike has been all avid strike collectors. The Hard Rock strikes have experienced cross over bidding by general Hard Rock collectors for quite a period of time. This lead me to believe there could be a valid supply and demand reason for the sharp bidding. As far as the sexual implications by Larry I find it hard to believe people bid their sexual orientaion with the exception of the pornography categories.
