You are knowledgeable and have a great eye to spot these fakes or questionable cards. Simply do what I do. I still even bid in Mastro auctions and win items from them (even though I shouldn't until they clean up their act and might change my mind about that one). I do however pass on a LOT of items in Mastro auctions and some other auctions - especially the ones that you can tell are setting there in a high grade holder and my daughter could spot that it is trimmed! I have simply become more focused in my collecting and collecting what I really love - even multiples of cards I really like. Maybe, if more and more people let these auction companies know that we are NOT going to let them get by with altering cards before having them graded and other things they are doing, we can band together and attempt to clean this mess up!
