Business 101
I am glad you are getting your money. These card we love often times mean more than money to all of us but unfortunately money is the only thing that comes close to substituting for our cards. Its bad enough to be swindled out of $5400 but when its cards you gave up for that nothing in return it hurts even more if you ask me.
Its good this guy Doug is doing the right thing. Its unfortunate he is most certainly only doing it because he has to protect his brand. One thing he didn't realize, as much as he tried, its not possible to cherry pick the best parts of that Mastro garbage in that inside deal because the good will or in this case "bad will" cannot be separated from the assets. He should have known and hopefully knows that perhaps its better to forgo some consignment profits from these new auctions to nullify and essentially buy back the "bad will" that came with their Mastro asset purchase. They may know cards but based on past experience and this new beginning they know nothing about business and running a successful company.
