Marc S.Bill Mastro is a very smart, rich man, who has been in this hobby for a long time.
If he truly thought that the break value of this set was in the $1.5 to $2.0 million range, as you suggested - WHY ON EARTH would he sell the set privately to a collector - leaving hundreds of thousands IN FEES ALONE on the table - not to mention countless brand equity value and publicity that such an auction would bring. Mastro has been accused of many things - stupidity is not one of them.
Also - for what it is worth - I find it curious that this board is so easy to jump on an anti-PSA bandwagon when any vintage HOF star in 9 or better shows up in a PSA holder, but nary a question is raised against SGC...
