How did the 54ers do in Mastro?

I generally will not bid on lots that have a "master lot" also. Too many other things to bid on only to be let down after trying to win a single lot and have someone win it out from under you as the "whole" lot. I do know of one time when a board member played it perfectly and got the one lot he wanted and was very happy. He paid a lot for it but the master lot was such a high next increment that the person bidding on the master lot didn't want to go another bid on it, obviously. It was a large lot of Old Judge Cabinets not too long ago. I have often given thought to how I would sell my E94 Overprint set if I were to auction it. I am not going to (hopefully) anytime soon but am 50/50 as to the master and seperate lot format or only the seperate lot format...or only the full set in one lot? It's unique and would be very hard to duplicate.....
