LarryJim- this is being stated respectfully..........Even without you and several others that now protest Mastro Auctions, ...they are getting amazing numbers and have many bidders compared to material offered....There is no shortage of customers, just material.......
The only way you can really fight what you are trying to do which is to purefy the hobby of badly graded cards and or rid auction house shill bidding may have to begin with looking at your own collection ...by the way Jim, maybe even some of those fabulous cards that you posted with early brand X HIGH grades have the possibility of being tainted. You would have to go to your major grading service that you supported, isolate your possibly trimmed material (getting two distinct opinions at least) and go after *** legally in worse case scenario so they honor their buy/back policy or those that sold you those beautiful cards.
I am sure you know that you could dump the tainted cards back into the market but then you would be doing this knowingly, which you stated would not be ethical. Accordingly, it would be righteous to disclose this info according to your ethical stand, even if items are in a holder. This protest would really impress the industry and most likely yourself, and that is a real stand.
