1. They either knew the jersey was a fake and sold it anyway
or
2. They didn't do the proper research and let a fake slip through the cracks
Both produce the same results (the buyer gets screwed) and both are UNACCEPTABLE!!
I'm not impressed with MASTRO refunding the $$ (just as I wouldn't be impressed with a bank robber offering to return the $$ to the bank after they got caught to avoid prosecution). MASTRO had no other choice.
Now if there are instances in the past where MASTRO discovered an item was fake after an auction ended, notified the buyer and refunded $$ without any pressure from any outside party that may help their credibility (or even hurt it more depending on how you look at it).
I don't trust any autographs, game used bats, shirts, etc. I don't care who authenticated them!!
Just my 2 cents.
