Over the years, I've saved some impressive/special catalogs. Not many rival this one from 1999. This type of material was more common to see back then, but man, this was one insane auction...I know that a lot of those T206 cards were bought by the top few registry guys, and are in their "vaults" now.
It's just wild to see this caliber of stuff all in one auction; and shared lots on ONE page (AND many of these were towards the back of the catalog, wow)...if any of this material were offered today, these pieces would garner their own pages, and be #1 lots. Wild stuff indeed. (Not intending this to become a negative/controversial thread about Mastro's, just thought collectors would appreciate seeing the cards, if they haven't before).

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

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.

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

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