leonI firmly believe that cards trump almost everything else. Everyone can say what they want to, but for the most part, if the auction/venue has cards that folks need they will bid. There are definitely some people that won't bid due to their "moral" belief, but the majority will. Personally, I don't have an issue with Mastro's stated policies or REA's stated policies. I think they are both fine auction houses. I believe I have placed ceiling bids in both auctions that were not bumped to the top. Also, I don't think any auction house is perfect...contrary to what some believe. I bid in almost every auction that has cards I want.....This is a very debatable subject and I am sure there are many views contrary to mine.
*My guess is that the prices realized in each auction will be indicative of the card and not the venue.
