In all fairness, the prices he pays are only
marginally more than the runner-up bidder, so he's not
the only one driving up the prices.

An acquaintance of mine knows 'dkdkk' through his
involvment with the old Computer Museum in Boston.
It's a reasonable conjecture that he might have an
interest in historical preservation and scholarship. I
wonder if someone like Al might want to contact him
and see if something might be arranged to get his
material scanned into the archives.  A guy with
pockets that deep snapping up so much good material
would be an asset to the community if he could be
brought on board.
