When I woke up the next morning to check the auction, I was listed as the high bidder on the Clemente packs! When I called and complained that I had been outbid according to the computer the night before, I was told I made a mistake. I said there was no mistake on my part. It was very clear there was a bid placed and withdrawn. I refused to buy the packs. They appeared in their next auction. Years later I spoke with the guy who won them in the next auction ( I believe he is a board member) who also had noticed some funny business with Mastro.

This is why I have always refused to participate in auctions that don't have a finite ending.
