Last winter, I was asked to formally examine a series of proofs by a highly respected person at MastroNet. Some people know who this person is, but he asked me that his name not be included in any Net54 brewhaha (can't fault him there). Independantly (we live over 1,000 miles apart from each other), both he and I agreed that the proofs were not legitimate, and MastroNet rejected them for their auction. This person originally thought them fake, but promised the consignor he would get a second opinion (me).

When the AM auction started, I didn't have a catalog or SCD or pictures and wasn't sure what was being offered. I was later told by this person at MastroNet that the AM proofs were the same ones I examined in person.
