By the way, that Goodwin card was the very first one I investigated. Not exactly like finding a needle in a haystack, however.
PS: when I started talking this way about Mastro three years ago a lot of posters/consignors got pissed at me too.

Maybe it's because Heritage auctions are not user friendly in many ways, and Goodwin has a site easy to use. Bill comes across as a genuine dude, and I think he has great write ups and scans. I think Goodwin is one of the premier auction houses and well respected.
I chimed in!

For some reason "Union Ruler house" keeps popping into my head! Not a communist faction on the contrary... Honest collectors should never hesitate to speak on industry standards
The answer is BALANCE and regulation!!
