Julie VognarI would occasionally buy Colgans from him, but only in nr-mint (I did buy a red border Speaker, ex+, which i sent back because the whole surface of the card was red--you could barely see speaker. At this point, I got a letter from Fritsch, saying, why didn't I send him a list of the Colgans I had, and he would tell me what he had for sale that I didn't have-- in nice shape. I had about 100 at the time, so that was time consuming. I clearly wrote on the page, "these are the Colgans I have." A month later, i got a curt note from him saying, no, thanks, he didn't need any of the cards I had written down.
Which reminds me, do you think maybe Mastro is spreading himself too thin? Could contribute to careless authentication.
