mastro catalog

Just received my first Mastro catalog, and I want to give everyone here my opinion.

Best $75 I ever spent. I used to say - no way I am spending $75 just to look at their stuff - now that I have this catalog, I kick myself for not doing it years earlier. It is a collectible in itself and the material being auctioned is sick - sick I tell you!

Do yourself a favor, call Mastro on Monday and spend the $75, you'll thank yourself later.

Eric,

Let us know what you do with all of those unopened packs you are going to win...

aconte · April 3, 2004 2:35AM

I agree. This is one of the best catalogs I've seen!

The lots were so incredible, I actually thought of killing my wife for the insurance money.

Just kidding, she's under insured anyway

honus will get a token bid from uniship

Remember that the $75. is only a 1 time fee- if you make a bid on every (or almost every) auction, you'll keep on their mailing list without ever coughing up any more $$$. The bids don't have to be winners, so since the minimums are such a low % of the final hammer if you open 1 lot you're good to go.
The blood bath start Monday. Best of luck everyone!

is there an online version of the catalogue, with scans?

aro13 · April 3, 2004 5:03AM

If you go to mastronet.com and click on current auction you will be able to see a scan of any lot.

Incredible auction, I cannot wait to get my catalogue.

aro, i cant seem to navigate the site whatsoever. where can i find the entire auction listing (something similar to superior's online auction layout)?

Jay -- LMAO!

Jay, can I get in on your scam ?

<< <i>Jay, can I get in on your scam ? >>

SCAM!!! I was serious!!!
Then again w/ the insurance money, how can I possibly narrow down the 2 or 300 lots that I "have to have" to just a handful.
Thats too much stress, I'll let her live for now

VARGHA - I just read in SCD, that you got your wish. They switched the 2006 National from A. City to Anaheim...See ya there!

Griffins · April 3, 2004 5:29AM

<<< 2006 National from A. City to Anaheim>>>

YES! there is a god!
thanks for the update Jay.

Vargha · April 3, 2004 5:41AM

That's absolutely amazing!!

I didn't realize that anyone still read SCD.

qualitycards · April 3, 2004 5:43AM

VARGHA - Yes I do, but don't tell anyone!...jay

One thing that I found curious was in their descriptions of a few 1952 Topps packs that they are auctioning off individually. They noted that any card was possible, yet 99.9% of all 1952 Topps packs ever offered publicly have been low series packs.

The hockey packs are making my mouth water. It's nice to see that there are individual lots as well so you don't have to drop $75 or 100 k on a 54/55 Topps pack collection.

Goodriddance

I think the online catalog won't be up and running until the bidding starts on Monday.

murcerfan · April 3, 2004 9:04AM

It's up.
