Dr.Koos1) It ALREADY had been said. A few Board members with rational thought processes SAID it, to which I posted soemthing to the order of, "Good Guess", or "There's a man that uses his brain". I don't know of how many other ways I could have said it...the card was NOT going to auction since I DID have the knowledge that Mastro once labeled it restored (although nothing was disclosed as to what the restoration was).
2) As soon as the card is delivered to him, the Dealer himself can disclose his identity if HE so chooses since I don't believe that my giving him the card on consignment must be first cleared through expressed permission of the Board. To my knowledge, it WON'T be offered on Ebay, but on the Show route.
3)How ridiculous. WHY would I buy a card in a Pro holder that I KNOW was trimmed, sell it that way and throw out X amount of dollars into the garbage? I've bought 2 Pro cards in my lifetime. A mistake I will never repeat unless I need to prove an insanity plea. The MM and the E90-1 Joe Jax. NEITHER is trimmed, as the Mantle fills the holder and measures OVER specs, and the Jax measures at LEAST the same size as every other E90-1 I've ever held up to it. WHATEVER was done to that MM, it WASN'T trimming, and I wouldn't have spent $12,500 on it if I thought it was trimmed (or for that matter, conserved in any way, shape, or form, that's for sure)!
