...Adieu, Adieu, Thank You and Adieu. (Personal message)
Posted By: petecld
Forgive the liberties I took with the words of Shakespeare in my title but this will be in all likelihood my final message here on this forum. A recent post by Leon referred to my new "project". Well, it is actually a new career. In January an email went out by Doug Allen at Mastro Fine Sports Auctions looking for a writer/grader. Feeling my 14-year career in Graphic Design was offering me less and less personal satisfaction I felt this position was the perfect opportunity for me. I am extremely happy to say that I was hired by Mastro and began my new job on April 18, 2005. My title will be "Writer / Researcher - Vintage Cards." I will be working directly with Brian Bigelow and Derek Grady and I couldn't find better people in this hobby to learn from. |

Pete, I wish you the best and hope you reconsider your decision to change your status to "lurker." As long as your posts don't relate to Mastro's auctions, I would hope that no one would construe your posts as the "official word" of Mastro. But if you or the folks at Mastro feel you can't take that risk, I'm sure we will all understand. |

You are truly one of the good guys in the Hobby. Your website is one of the reasons I now collect caramels. Also, thanks again for that much needed last card I sent you the money for today! |

Pete, glad to see you with a GREAT group of poeple over in Mastroland. Can I still use you for credits in my rare Ebay auctions? I have always liked your writing style. Since you are now a "lurker", will you be coming into the restaurant for the Network54 dinner? Or will you just hang out in the car, in the parking lot? LOL JC |

Wishing you the best of luck in your new job at the Emerald City . Thanks for all the knowledge that you've shared on this board. I certainly don't think I'm alone when I say that I've learned a lot from you. Don't forget that just 'cause you'll be working for the big guys, that doesn't mean you need to be a stranger. We'll need you to drop by every now and again so you can set us straight on those pesky E cards. |

Pete, congrats on the big move, you lucky SOB. I always thought you were a class act and now you work for a class outfit. You certainly rode the E card wave long before it crested and made a real knowledge contribution to the hobby about these long-overlooked treasures (no longer). I know you will bring the same enthusiasm and fair dealing to the Mastro organization that you always showed as a "private" citizen. Now, if you need an assistant..... |

Hey Pete- let me join the bandwagon and wish you the very best in your new job; I had no idea. I've enjoyed doing business with you and even an old grizzled veteran like myself has needed help with information on candy cards and you always came through for me. You've got a great new job with a first class auction house - and you know, any company that prints a state of the art catalog can use a graphic designer, so you can write, design, get some consignments- you can do it all. Have fun and don't work too hard. Barry |

All I have to do to get Pete to post again is to post a thread on my Kling and Chance caramel card proofs. He has never been able to resist, right, Pete? |
