Mastro auction catalogues from 2006 (or online equivalents)
 

I've recently made contact with a gentleman who has been the source of one of Howe's old cards, and is currently holding another for me, but in our latest exchange, he mentioned that he had sold a complete T206 set in a Mastro auction in 2006 that had several, or maybe a lot, of the cards with the stamp on them. I questioned him whether is might have been 2008, when there was the set that had 50 of them, but he insists that it was 2006. Now, I know a catalog listing wouldn't have every card pictured, and a complete T206 set wouldn't even list every card, but it might say how many cards in the lot had the stamp, and might mention if any of the major cards had the stamp. Anyone on board have old catalogues like these, or know of an online site that has them? Thanks.

April Mastro showers
 

I have an April 20-21 2006 Mastro Auctions catalog. Lot #1013 is a listing for a near set of 519 (the lot description said that only three cards were missing, Magie, Plank and Wagner--not sure how that adds up). The fronts of 16 of the 68 cards graded by PSA are the only ones pictured, but neither on the flips (no qualifiers shown) nor in the description does it mention a single word about the backs...I guess that was just before backs became a big deal in the T206 world.

To help identify if this was the lot just in case my scan is a little iffy, the lot description mentions that 18 cards were PSA6, 29 cards PSA5, 19 cards PSA4, and 2 cards PSA2, and that overall the ungraded cards were 39% Ex to Ex-Mt, 51% Vg-Vg/Ex, and 10% lesser, which included some trimmed.
