Peter CalderonDoug is taking the weekend off to be with his family or he would have responded himself.
I repeated the comments made here and he said that he, as always, appreciates the feedback and thought there were some valid points made. No decision is made hastily and without input from all parties involved. We weighed the pros and cons of the format and obviously decided this format was best. He did add that the option of offering the Cracker Jack set and the Old Judge collection in the "Set vs Single" format was a key factor in securing the two consignments and that the consignor of the Cracker Jack set gave us the set to auction specifically because we would utilize the "Set vs Single" format.
We are always looking for suggestions to improve the process so if anyone has one, please feel free to call or email Doug at dallen@mastroauctions.com.
...starting on Tuesday.
