MWPlastic Dog,
You are quite mistaken about Mastro. I once wrote that a major auction house was removing Cracker Jacks from a scrapbook and getting them in “8” and “9” holders. I was NOT referring to Mastro and I never mentioned their name. Someone else implicated Mastro and later turned out to be completely mistaken –- just like you are now.
And this theory about authentication ex post facto. If anything, I would say that your argument is a unique mathematical outlier within the group containing all logical conclusions. Even given a very limited window of opportunity to place the Ichiro bat in the auction, there were far too many clues to ignore…at least in my opinion. It just doesn’t add up.
