EBAY ID's and Hobby Affiliations of Mastro Co-Conspirators/Shillers

Tennis,

Unfortunately I have never attended a national. As I posted above family considerations dictate otherwise. So I would personally be of little help in that area. I know the website for the national has a page to display dealer booths but off the top of my head I can not remember the url. Hopefully one of the eagle eyes here can post a link for you.

At last year's National in Chicago, the location of the tables bore no relationship to the map printed in the program, so even if you can find a map on the website, it may not be accurate.

I am fairly new here and personally I don't know how long this fake, counterfeit, shilling, and any other terms terms/descriptions have been going on, maybe corruption as well, but like the OP says, the more we expose these crooks the less chance this behavior will continue.

Just read on my hometown ticker tape about another huge bust today. IIRC, I believe it said 450,000 items with a value of 39 million was busted.

Not sure if this is the article but it is all I could find that was close to today's date.

Great idea, Jeff! Would it be possible to put a notation by anyone on your list that is an owner or an employee of an auction house?

This will help those of us who plan to boycott auctions that are affiliated with known shillers in addition to dealers.

As I've posted in the past while pushing for a boycotting of Legendary, the only way this issue is going to get fixed is for collectors to suck it up and stop the "cards trump all" attitude when buying and consigning items. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
