joeJeff, your question?
(anyone else ever have such personal service by Mastro?).
When I was thinking of sending some items to auction houses, I considered Lelands and Mastros. I spoke with Josh Evans of Lelands at the National about the items and Jonathan Perry called me about consigning some items. Bill Mastro personally called me and we talked for quite some time about the consignment items. Bill gave me his phone number and I was told I could call him anytime. I will say I have known Bill since the 1980's, not a close friend but from shows where he set up with Nagy in Michigan. I did consign some items in Mastro's March 2006 auction, not major items by the way, less than $10,000, so yes there are other collectors who deal directly with Bill Mastro. I don't think I would be the only collector out there that deals with Bill Mastro or Josh Evans directly.
