Given Mastro's questionable recent past and REA's impeccable reputation, there really is no reason to send a new comer to Mastro, especially given how they treated the family with the Ruth ball. I'm sure part of the reason Mastro gets business is because they have fostered good relationships with major collectors. I'm sure Leon will defend Mastro til his dying breath. They also offer more than one auction a year. That is REA's only drawback, but is also a strength. They only need to focus on one auction per year allowing them to take the best care possible of any and all clients.

Barry probably gets a lot mention because he is active here, is well liked and has a great reputation.
