Default Mastro lot.....

There are a few auction houses who have been fortunate to get large collections of miscellaneous items and just list them all together for sale. Those auction houses also, many times, didn't go through the lots too well before auctioning them. I believe I have heard many stories about those "finds" within finds. One that sticks out for me is when I bought a fairly large lot of tobacco packs from a Mastro Auction. One of them was an unopened Pirate pack that was not described as such (I don't believe). When I pressed my fingers against the pack I could feel a card inside. I have since traded that pack to another board member but I couldn't believe there was a card in the pack that wasn't even described as unopened (and definitely wasn't described as having a card in it, albeit I have no idea what kind of card) regards
