Posted By: Hal LewisAnyone find a list yet anywhere that lists all 83 items? They have a few up on their web site, but only about 10%. (yes, some of the items are consigned are mine, but I am not asking this question to "raise awareness." I seriously want to see what else will be competing against my cards for the buying dollars)

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanAnd Hal, if you find out what will be "competing" against your cards, will that give you the "chance" to withdraw your lots for a later auction?

Posted By: Bruce MacPhersonI don't think any "awareness" is necessary for this auction, given the quality of sneak preview of items up on the Mastro site. I was hoping the Pirates would be separated into several lots, but that doesn't appear to be the case given that there are only 80+ items. The pirates seem to be very high grade, but look at the borders on the cards. Are they hand cut?

Posted By: MVSNYChal- why not just ask head of acquisitions at Mastro's? in the past, i have called and gotten detailed lists from them, way before the auction hits the internet for preview.

Posted By: Hal LewisI could, but if someone had a link, it would have just been easier and given me more time to examine it. I didn't want to be writing 83 things down over the phone.

Posted By: Richard MassonScott B.- Why would you post such nonsense? Are you trying to be funny?

Posted By: Richard MassonThe lack of a response should make it clear to everyone that Scott B's post was irresponsible and completely untrue.

Posted By: Kevin Saucier"The pirates seem to be very high grade, but look at the borders on the cards. Are they hand cut?" It's my understanding they are all hand cut or hand trimmed. That's probably why they look so sharp (am I wrong?). Although they are a legitimate issue I would be very nervous forking over dough on one of those. btw...on the rebacked thread I posted examples of various edges and what to look for. One of those is a doctored T206 with a Pirate back. Made just to see if could be done. Kevin Saucier

Posted By: Cobby33I, too, have heard (from multiple sources) that the Pirates are hand-cut. PSA interprets this as trimming. SGC does not. Go figure.

Posted By: leonHow did you know? I had a nice quarter roasted chicken with fried okra and mashed potatoes and brown gravy. I hired a new GM to run both stores so am cautiously optimistic.....At least I think I can go to the National and have a little peace of mind.....thanks for mentioning it <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: CatIs it difficult to get the tickets to the live auction? I put a call into Mastro last week and although a live body answered the phone I was sent into someone's voice mail who still has not called me back. Can one expect to get tickets the day of the auction?

Posted By: CatJeff: You need a T206 Wagner. It's only going to be a few bucks more than the BG Cobb (another 50%). FOCUS!!!!

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanCat, I've got two kids, a wife, a law firm to keep afloat -- plus that Wagner looks like it got run over by a truck. You know that I only like cards in PSA 2 or better anyway.

Posted By: CatI did get some correspondence from Doug Allen stating that there will be a general announcement soon regarding how to participate in the event. Also he stated the catalog is being printed this weekend. We should have it in our hands sometime next week.

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanLeon, I was hoping someone would catch the fact that I was prepared to sell one kidney that I myself did not own. It's bad enough to be on dialysis and without the BG Cobb. I'm clearly a desperate man.

Posted By: George H. CounterWell Jay Miller, maybe you don't remember me but I do remember your Keeler restoration fiasco about 3 years ago. In fact, the board's search feature is so great that I was able to find the original thread in which I participated. <a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1102513863/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1102513863/</a> Btw, I did email leon... too bad I don't post that much these days. So now who's the F*CK, Jay?
