I do not have any specifics about Mastro.

I have only ever wanted to have two autographs in my life. One is of Manny Sanguillen, who was my hero when I was a kid. I have three autographs from him. The other is J. Bob "Battleship" Kelly, who is my all-time favorite Penguins player. I believe I have two autographs from him, but they were not signed in person, as was the case with Sanguillen, so I am not sure. Outside of these two I have never wanted for an autograph because it is my opinion any idiot can sign a name unless they are unfortunate enough to be illiterate. My lack of interest in autographs and the first part of the last sentence are why I stay away from the autograph side of the hobby.
