Hoarding had a different context in WWII, especially with rationing limited resource commodities involved. Even today there are laws that vary from state to state that restrict holding and overcharging for commodities like gas and water.

In the context of collectibles hoarding is an entirely different animal, and a sport of sorts, but not without risk (IMO, with SA to Modern books numbers it's of questionable value).  That said, cornering some part of the GA market has been tried to some extent and may be feasible. The two clear examples that come to my mind are Stephen Fishler's acquisitions of Fox's Fantastic Comics #3 and West Stephan's collection of Cat-Man #28, the latter of which I've actually seen gathered together in one location... :whatthe:
