Certainly Didn’t Expect to See that at the National.

Luckily, we have a criminal justice system which metes out punishment rather than a bunch of yahoos with a lynch mob mentality. Am I hearing that you don’t believe in the criminal justice system? Having said that you have a right to deal with whomever you choose. Just accept that others can also decide for themselves. I just find it interesting that people are getting agita because Mastro dared to enter the sacred grounds of the National but these same people have no trouble dealing with documented shill bidders who never were punished for their crimes.

I would not say a single word in defense of Mastro, but you could pick 20 people off the floor of the National who have done just as much or more damage to the hobby, that is if you consider altered cards a bad thing.

Agreed 100%

To correct an earlier post, Bill Mastro is not from Chicago or the Chicago Area. He is from Bernardsville NJ. About 30 Minutes from New York City.

Peter, are you willing to out the 20? I believe collectors should know who they are dealing with.

Jeffrey-You are taunting the haters. That card image looks exactly like a young Bill Mastro.

+1, hanging is not enough for some.
