Please do not bring Mastro into the conversation although I have consigned to them in the past, maybe before their problems.

No did not miss it, I have been following that thread also.
I will say the way things are going there will be no auction houses that we can trust, even the ones that are called honest right now by the NET54 Forum. Remember In past years Mastro and Lelands were trusted at one time.

Collectors are losing faith in EBAY and EBAY Auction sites faster than they did with the Auction Houses. So that will be the next to fall. Then we will be back to selling and trading by collectors which worked well in the past. I guess that won't be so bad.

All of this sturm und drang would be worth it, at least for me, if it resulted in the revival of regional and local card shows. It' s a much more fun side of the hobby.
