Mastro Wins?! - Anyone????

Posted By: Jon Canfield

Well, now that the 2 days are over, what did you all win? I bid on a series of lots and only came away with 1, and the lot I won was an afterthought... I threw in a bid on a 1955 Yankees team signed ball authenticated by PSA/DNA because the bidding was so low - around $350 and sure enough, it was the only lot I won!

So, did anyone have more success?

Seems that I've had decent luck with c46s lately. I won a large group of them on Wednesday to fill some holes in my set. Many of the big cards (ie...Gandil, Kelly, McGinnity) as well as plenty of the commons are cards I already have so I'll have dupes available if anyone is interested.

Mike- Nice pickup on the Cobb, great eye appeal for a PSA 1! Should have been a 2 easily.

I had my usual luck with Mastro- I get close enough to get my hopes up only to have them dashed during the extended period time. I really thought I would win the trimmed E94 green Cobb for about 1k but was amazed it went so high. I also tried to pick up some other lots but when the prices reached what I thought was a "good buy" and then went over that, I dropped out. Unless there is something I just have to have, I won't pay over market just to win. Of course that's probably why I don't win that often with them

I picked up two pieces, the 1906 W601 St. Louis Browns P/C with Branch Rickey & 1948 El Indio Monte Irvin. I was second high bidder on the Old Judge Bid McPhee & W600 Joe Tinker. Prices did not seem to be as astronomical overall as most of the previous Mastro Auctions........Maybe one day, I'll actually get the OJ McPhee.

By the way, if any board member won the big lot of 1921/1922/1923 Caramel cards, I am interested in the 1921-23 E220 National Caramel cards of Joe Sewell & Herb Pennock.

Thanks

I won 286 cards !!!!!!!!!!!

























(((strips -- with vig, $3.20/card, which is great for the baseball and boxing, but does anyone know what the book is for a W590 Martin Van Buren???)))

Oh, and my high bid (and the closing bid) was placed hours before extended period.

I would tell you guys what I won, but I overpaid so bad that I don't want to feel stoopid (or prove that I am stoopid).

Did anyone here win this lot -- Lot 440: Vintage Hall of Famers and Superstars Early Career Collection (27 Different) ?

I am interested in one of the cards!

Lot 222
1903 Pirates Carl Horner Studios lot of 15- Photo Collection.
Does anyone know who has the Wagner from this group?

I managed to win Lot 1151, a pretty mixed bag lot of 16 cards. I'm looking at keeping a handful of the cards, but I'm not sure what I'll do with the rest yet. I though prices overall were somewhat reasonable (if that can be said with 20% juice), especially for some of the cards later in the auction...

Whoever won lot #440 from the Mastro auction, please e-mail me. I have interest in one of the cards.

Thanks

Yes. I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with the Lot.

It isn't often that you can pick up a rare Old Judge variation for $180 plus vig but I picked up the rare Dalrymple spelling variation (Dolrynigle). The only other copy I have seen was the one in Dave Levin's great Old Judge find. A scan of that card is still on Dave's web site. There are plenty of spelling variations in the Old Judge set but this one is special since it looks like it came out of a random letter generator.

That spelling is pretty goofy. What lot was it?

I just found it. The auction spelled it "Dolbynicle."

Posted By: Jay

Barry---They were wrong, although that spelling would be interesting too.

if and when, let me know. Ed

won a N162 keefe GAI 5, and a 54T Banks RC GAI 8....does Mastro email or mail the invoice? thanks

Posted By: Cat

Bruce:

They mail AND e-mail invoices. Normally, you would have the e-mail version by now, but I do not have it either.

Posted By: Zinn

Me neither.

If anyone here won lot #1106, the Old Judge Billy Hamilton, and you want to make a tidy little profit, contact me.

or anyone. David Levin's website address? TY in advance...

It's linked to this site.

of my life I'll never get back Thanks Barry. I located it on the link's page as fortunately only one guy named Dave.....

[Archive]

Posted By: barrysloate

Was it that painful? Dave has great cards but his site can be a little challenging to navigate.

Posted By: mr. moses

dat. I would need some time to fully look around. It's just I'm always intrigued by finds and cards in general. I also recognized the name although still not placing it fully...... Did/does he collect early baseball photographs?

[Archive]

Posted By: barrysloate

I have no idea. I thought he was primarily a card guy, but he might collect other things.

Well, after not receiving an invoice until early Monday morning, I received three copies of the same e-mail/invoice from Mastro within a span of 16 minutes.

Posted By: barrysloate

Hey Rob- I got three also, so I sent them three checks.

[Archive]

Posted By: Zinn

Yep, me too, three invoices.

Barry: We are pleased to inform you that you've been added to our preferred customer list. Please accept the enclosed roll of Mastro packing tape with our compliments.

Posted By: barrysloate

I have to admit, they sure do have nice packing tape!

[Archive]

Posted By: Jeff Lichtman

The packing tape is what does it for me as well - though cutting through it does bring a tear to my eye.

Posted By: barrysloate

Jeff- I think on a large purchase they'll throw in a free roll if you request it.

Posted By: Jeff Lichtman

Apparently I'm too big of a public critic of Mastro and am being punished as I barely received enough tape to close my package shut 3 or 4 times around. I'm convinced it's Doug's doing. If Doug is reading this, I would respectfully ask him to alert the powers that be at Mastro to slide a medium sized roll into my package with my cards. I would spend weekends taping up empty boxes with Mastro tape just to experience over and over the delight of tearing open a package from Mastro. Thank you for your consideration.

Maybe I can use some of my connections to procure a small strip of packing tape for you. It might take a little wheeling and dealing, but I think I may be able to pull it off.

Posted By: leon

I hear Mastro Auctions is going to Live Auction a role of their tape. I will happily bid for you if you can't make it there?

[Archive]

Posted By: Jeff Lichtman

Leon, I would appreciate that. But just ensure please that Mastro will not be using any of the roll of tape to close the package itself.

[Archive]

Posted By: Jason L

Will somebody please scan a piece of this Mastro packing tape I keep reading so much about?!?!??!

I can't play in those big auctions, so I shan't ever receive any, so if someone would be so kind as to include me in your reindeer games, I would love to see the stuff!!

I won the group of 1947 Tip Top bread cards that went for 3 increments higher than it should of. I know I overpaid on the deal, but I needed two cards to complete the set.
