Posted By: ockdaySo who won what so far? I won a few lots..most notably the E90-1's Jackson and Sweeney and the C56 hockey set. Thankkfully I sold a bunch of stuff so they still owe me money but that may change tonight. Alan

Posted By: Mike McGrailI went 0 for 9. A TRIPLE STRIKE-OUT!! I was even able to go a bit deeper into the wallet this time due to the good (for me) euro - dollar rate. Still didn't help. Congrats to all of you who were able to pick up some desired stuff. Ciao for now, Mike

Posted By: tbobI would be very interested in the E98 Young card from the Graded "E" Card Collection of Lot 834 and the E98 Tinker and Evers from the Graded "E" Card Collection of Lot 1193 if the winners are reading this board and wanted to help defray their cost of buying those lots. perhaps someone like David Bryan might have won them for the purpose of breaking them up on ebay and selling them on ebay which would be a great alternative for those of us who have no interest in collecting all the cards from other sets which were included (hope, hope)!

Posted By: PASJDI won nothing, bid on nothing, and unless some of the questions that have been raised surrounding Mastro's practices, disclosures, and relationships with the "outside conservator" are answered, I don't expect to do so in the future. Just my personal point of view. I hope those of you who bid got some or all of what you hoped for.

Posted By: ScottI lost all the lots I couldn't really afford, and won the single lot that I really, really wanted, and for a fair price. Greg, my collection just increased in value by a factor of 28, so now you can't make fun of me <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> PSAJD - keep in mind that all the auctions have problems, but if you don't participate you lose out on opportunities to pick up cool items. Your best bet is to continue trying to change things in a diplomatic manner. Happy holidays to everyone.

Posted By: Kevin CummingsJohn: I'm not sure what the reference to the 2000 auction results has to do with the link to the Donlin in the current auction, but I did learn something by reading the lot description (make sure you put your hip waders on if you venture in yourself. It's deep in there <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14> ). Kevin Main Entry: jer·e·mi·ad Pronunciation: "jer-&-'mI-&d, -"ad Function: noun Etymology: French jérémiade, from Jérémie Jeremiah, from Late Latin Jeremias : a prolonged lamentation or complaint; also : a cautionary or angry harangue

Posted By: john/z28jdKevin the Donlin went for the price that John quoted in the 2000 august auction as part of the Harris collection.He basically means whoever owned it lost alot of money on it in a short time

Posted By: AnonymousI hear what you are saying, but to quote Lenin, I prefer to "vote with my feet." I can ask questions, but the disapproval of an ant is not going to change the behavior of a gorilla, and the gorilla is not going to develop a conscience either.

Posted By: Scottbut I think if enough ants disapprove, the gorilla will change. For instance, I'm very hesitant to bid on expensive photos now, whereas I used to never question an auction description. Same goes for un-slabbed cards - I pass on them usually unless I have a clear scan, even if it's one I really want. But I still bid on other things. So the complaints have at least cost the auction houses some of my bids, and I still get to win things that I trust. If the auction houses want more of my money, they can start providing more security on the "boycotted" items. I think it will eventually happen, but I could be wrong.

Posted By: ChrisCould it be that the rumors of trimming in the Harris collection are causing the prices to drop?

Posted By: tbobExactamundo! On the Donlin card, maybe some of you guys could take that kind of a hit but if I lost $8,000 on a single card I'd be sleeping in the park with a sign around my neck "Used to be married."

Posted By: PASJDTrimmed cards in slabs? Say it ain't so. Y'all are just kidding, right? In all seriousness do the rumors suggest that the owner trimmed the cards or that some third party who purchased them raw and then slabbed them did? Apologize for my lack of knowledge about the collection, I have heard of it obviously but don't know much else.

Posted By: MikeBHello...I am knew to this forum. I have been reading your posts for the last couple of weeks. It seems that many of you have really nice vintage card collections. I also think that as a group, you drive the price of many of Mastro lots. Do some of you get together and not bid against each other? This might be a way to get a few items you like cheaper, and all would win. What are your thoughts?

Posted By: CraigWhere are you guys getting the idea that Harris collection t206s are dropping preciptously in value? Why don't you post something you actually know about. You conveniently overlook the Speaker and Tinker portrait Harris cards that sold last night for near 10K apiece! These cards sold respectively for 5k and 3.7k in the 8/2000 auction. Doesn't look like that rumors of trimming hurt their resale. The Donlin card has dropped in price simply because at the end of the day it is a common player and was vastly overpriced to begin with. That card has been sold before multiple times since the Harris auction and the consignor of it in the Mastro auction didn't lose 8k and may have made money.

Posted By: Kenny ColeCraig, Peace be unto you. No one said that the reason the Donlin dropped $8K in 4 years was because it was trimmed; that was just a hypothesis that may have some basis in fact. Similarly, no one said that the consignor in this auction took an $8K bath. Rather, TBob said that if he had taken an $8K bath, he'd be sleeping in the park. So would I, if my wife was feeling lenient that day. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Not even you, who seem to know so much more about it than anyone else (are you the unhappy consignor?), can deny that the Donlin card is now selling for 50% of what it did then. That's just the fact. Chill out and find your happy place. Merry Christmas!

Posted By: ockdayJDW... sorry to say I fell asleep and did't wake up till the auction was over so if you bid again you would have won the card. I also won the OJ Behel card last night.

Posted By: ScottDavid, I think you got a great deal on that. I was the guy you outbid at the end, and would have gone one higher except I suspected I might win something else (which I did). That's always the dilemna with us poor folks - you have to bid high enough to win three lots if you have any hope of getting one...I almost screwed up and got two <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>
