Or they purposely waited that long, so people would forget the original sale. You have to be awfully discrete when you fraudulently sell an altered card for $84,000.00, under the premise of being NRMT.
I wonder if anyone has actually tallied up the "dollar profits" from these ill-gotten gains? And what would that total number be, derived from the thousands of number-graded cards that we've seen? (keeping in mind that only a small percentage can be accessed/researched using the internet)
Whatever that number is, it absolutely dwarfs the extent of crimes committed by Mastro & Co.
