Rob DewolfI received the following e-mail about a Babe Ruth card on which I'd placed a bid being withdrawn today. The thing I find interesting is the card was graded by SGC, so I wonder what details Mastro wasn't able to confirm? And there's a mention of authenticity, so does that mean the holder was tampered with but not noticed until the last day of the auction? I sent an e-mail but didn't receive a reply. To be clear: I'm not implying any wrongdoing by Mastro; I just find it curious. Here's the e-mail and below it a link to the lot:
Lot Number 1386, 1933 R319 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth - SGC 40 VG 3, has been
withdrawn due to our inability to absolutely confirm some of the details
originally include in the item's description in the catalog. If we are able to
confirm authenticity beyond a doubt, we may re-offer the item in another
catalog. We appreciate your bidding and hope that you will find other items that
peak your interest.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank You
