Default Mastro Auctions Being Investigated by the FBI
Posted By: Cobby33

Whether Mastro is being investigated, I believe, is not the big issue. The big issue is the unscrupulous conduct in which a lot of (not all) auction houses take part. Shill bidding; misrepresenting conditions of cards; selling knowingly-altered cards; and refusing to take returns on altered cards; wagering deals with big consignors/buyers; etc.

I agree that the allegations of the Mastro/FBI issue are interesting fodder for debate, but let's not lose sight of the bigger issues which seems to pervade the hobby/business.
