Default Sothebys / SportsCards plus catalog came -- are "Reserves" nomral?

Posted By: Scott Elkins

After reading a few books on Brian Daniels Illegitimate Grandfather - Arnold Rothstein, I didn't know anybody in New York went by a "law" - even the people sworn to protect it! Anyway, I don't think Mastro does this reserve deal. I know when I have consigned to them, they like to start items LOW and let the bidding begin. Their reasoning was that it attracts more bids and potential bidders. I totally agree. I believe the T207 Red Cross I consigned to them started out at only $500 - ended up having more bids than any item in the auction at 30 bids!
