Shouldn't forget about Stephen Fishler who's been a definite market maker in this hobby of ours for the past 25 years or so, but also a big time collector himself at the same time.

For Silver Age Marvels, I don't think anybody comes close to Tom Brulato's collection.

In terms of all-world EC collectors, Jim Halperin warrants an honorable mention.

James Furferri, owned and operated Empire Comics in Rochester from the early seventies until his death. Besides selling countless comics his own vast collection was auctioned by Heritage a few years back. Most of my paper route money went to him.
