I believe just the internet bidding is closed; this lot is part of the live Mastro auction at the National.
And I'm not so certain that a buyer of this program would have known that it was previously sold over a year ago in Lelands auction. Who can keep track of every single lot in every auction?
Regardless, I can't understand why 'before' pictures were not included or why when giving comparison sales prices of purportedly similar programs Mastro neglected to note what THIS program sold for. After all, which prior sale is more relevant to a prospective bidder -- some unknown "similar" restored programs or the actual unrestored program?
