As a consignor in the last two Mastro Auctions with high-dollar cards, I can tell you that I was never offered any kind of deal to try to "maximize" my grades, even though I personally thought there was a card or two that was definitely under-graded.

I did though get another kind of call from Mastro after they received my consignments. They told me that they thought one of my cards was over-graded and that they would have to call that out in the item description. Obviously, I wasn't crazy about that idea so they gave me the option of taking back the consignment, which I did.

Not sure how relevant all this is, and I know I'm just one of many consignors, but thought I'd share.
