A Collector, Mastro, PSA & Our Beloved Hobby

First let me say I guess I can understand Doug not wanting to post, but then again I think some direct input via Mastro would go a lot farther than this arms distance via Leon.

Second I guess I should thank Doug for looking into this, but the other part of me says I shouldn’t be grateful about this. This is what should have been done long ago; nobody is doing anyone any favors here.

PSA needs to stand behind their product long discussions shouldn’t be needed here to have PSA review this item. We have a fake card in a holder which PSA deemed legit. They (PSA) should be jumping over walls to get this card back in hand and review… and Mastro should be seriously looking into why this card was ever placed up for auction in the first place and who approved this lot and disclaimer with or without Doug’s approval.

Also are you sure PSA has never seen this card?? Are we 100% sure of this?

To me this whole thing is a mess I can’t believe we all are so relaxed about this, Doug and Mastro have no prior knowledge of this card, yet this card gets a disclaimer? Funny the other Nodgrass cards auctioned as recent as the previous auction had no such disclaimer.

Nobody finds this the least bit odd? We can post till our fingers bleed about eBay scammers and reprints that wouldn’t fool Stevie Wonder, but this real issue is staring us in the face and we are all content with the "our bad will look into this" reponse??

Somebody’s not being 100% on the level with us (PSA, Mastro, and Consignor) IMO, and I think this really raises a lot more questions.

The questions aren’t really about the card or if it’s legit here folks, we already know the answer.

The questions are very clear and have been shuffled around or passed over IMO by the parties at hand Mastro included.

Here is what we should be asking and have asked which have really yet to be explained…

How did this card get into a holder to begin with?

Why did PSA stonewall or delay this card the first few times, and now only at this point is willing to review almost as if their doing us a favor?

How did this card end up in a Mastro Auction and end up being the only lot to ever carry such a disclaimer if Mastro really had no knowledge of this card and its history?
