Posted By: <b>Howard W. Rosenberg</b><p>Thanks to a really nice person on this list, I have now seen eight Mastro catalogs that I had not seen before. However, I don't really know for sure what I haven't seen, and am curious if anyone who thinks they have a full run might be able to compare my list with theirs. I am also including the Sotheby's ones (with the one obvious gap of 1994). I am particularly curious about 19th-century-related items that have typically appeared in the public domain, such as in a catalog, just once. One of my most exciting moments, by the way, was seeing Anson's "better actor than any ballplayer, better ballplayer than any actor" letterhead in the 1991 Sotheby's catalog. <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Howard W.

Posted By: <b>Aaron</b><p>You are missing (that I know of) the September 2000 MastroWest and the August 2001 Mastro catalogs.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Howard:<br /><br />You realize, of course, that all of us will now be counting on YOU for the provenance of every vintage item that ever appears up for auction!!!<br /><br />You could do us all a great service by being the "board historian" whenever these auctions come up.<br /><br />Think how much "demand" there will be for your services if you can report:<br /><br />"The Old Judge McPhee card that is currently on Ebay is the same one that was sold ungraded in the 1998 Mastro spring auction for $2,000, and then sold again after being slabbed by SGC in the 2000 Mastro auction for $5,000."<br /><br />How cool would that be?

Posted By: <b>Howard W. Rosenberg</b><p>Well, while I would be glad to help out, I can clarify that of the 28 catalogs I listed, I possess a grand total of six (three Sothebys and three Robert Edward Auctions).<br /><br />Of the other 22:<br /><br />I saw nine via roundtrip mail through my Network54 list benefactor.<br /><br />I saw eight on their way to cataloging at the Library of Congress.<br /><br />I saw five in Library of Congress's permanent collection.<br /><br />Sorry to spring this news just two days before Christmas (and nine days after Chanukah)!<br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br />
