I remember seeing that Beckett and thinking how much I would like to be that guy. He has emailed me recently wanting to sell off his collection. He has also been selling a lot of cards on eBay lately.
I am very good friends with Rob (nosterbor on eBay). He lives in Florida and has the most incredible Juan collection in terms of total volume of Juan cards. He has over 35,000 total cards all in top loaders and in order. He stores them in 5000 count boxes.
To give you an idea, he has 65 of the 2005 Prime Patches Major League Material Autographed card.
I went down to his house last year and we just looked at Juans for 4 days. We did some trading and cataloging of his collection. It was awesome.
I have also met with Chris (mcabee1 on eBay) a couple of times to compare collections. I have bought some stuff from him before. His collection is also very impressive. He has almost every card up to 1996 except the Williams Autos.
Needless to say, there are some cool guys out there who collect Juan.
