As a part of the purchase process, many buyers of card portfolios bring in outside expertise to provide a second opinion valuation. This, to confirm their own due diligence and market valuation assessment. Likewise, sellers will often bring in someone to provide their Board with an opinion of fairness on the bids being received. In both cases, a principal chooses to get the best advice possible, prior to closing a deal.
