MASTRO AUCTION

[Archive]

Posted By: Tom Boblitt

Mastronet's decision, as stated by someone else earlier, to list 350+ 'E' cards in a single lot. With the current craze on E cards, I can't help but think they are leaving some of both their and Egan's money on the table. If they were split into smaller, set or player related lots, I would certainly think that they would bring more money although they will bring some serious coin anyway. Unless.........they are lotting based on what they know that their collector base is looking for. That would be catering to the high dollar dudes (that never happens--right?).

I think we will all be equally stunned when we see the December catalog as I was told there's a similar lineup (albeit slightly different) from the Egan collection for that auction.

On a tangent subject......how many more of these EGAN-esque collections (other than Jay....) are out there to be sold? I think the current market is bringing some of these old-time collectors out given the huge dollars some of these rarities are bringing. Anyone with any ideas on that?
