NY Daily News accuses Mastro of wielding PSA grades like a tool and threatening a potential consigner.
Scott Elkins says that Mastro does "doctor" cards. Has proof. Shows one of his consignments, from years ago, showing before and after evidence. He doesn't realize that this proof also proves he was complicit. Gets in a huge fight with half the board. Takes sensless cheap shots at Leon. Dares Leon to ban him. RIP.
Long debate ensues about what is "acceptable preparation" of a card before grading and auction. (Water v. Bleach?)
Shelly gets repeatedly reminded that he's a felon (like he was going to forget.)
Jay and Charlie B. go a few rounds.
Jim Crandell gets in a long discussion with Dan B., t-206, et al concerning cleaning up the hobby. He wants it done, NOW! (Just start with somebody else's cards.)
Several other side stories rise and quickly die.
