This is normally my rebuttal when people argue time travels exists or will exist in the future...

Catalog or card?

I remember that auction, Michael. What a trip down memory lane! Although many of those cards have disappeared from the hobby - I'd say that I have seen very very few PSA 9 MINT T-206 cards trading in the hobby over the last decade or so. All of those that sold in that '99 Mastro sale are likely to still be with the owner to whom they went back then, nearly two decades ago.

Incredible

Now let's see, is 1999 pre-shill?

To me, Sotheby’s Copeland Collection auction was AMAZING!!! Still have my catalog from the sale plus a duplicate, there was a buzz in the room....

According to the Government’s public accusations and Mastro’s formal public admissions to the FBI the answer to this is: NO! Mastro’s massive shill bidding scheme pre-dated 1999.

Hi Rob, hope you’re well...your time capsule will be posted later tonight (July 2000, I’m sure you remember).

A lot of the old catalogs had exquisite cards in great condition, raw (and probably not tampered with.)

Very cool.
