Certainly Didn’t Expect to See that at the National.
I walked in Thursday morning and who do I see behind the counter at the Memory Lane booth? Bill Mastro.
I felt obligated to say hello because I know Bill from my many consignments with him and Brian Marren during their Mastro days but it certainly was an odd feeling seeing him back at a National in whatever capacity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is he allowed to be involved back in the hobby?

I thought part of his sentencing was that he could never do business in the hobby again.

I read somewhere that he found Jesus again or something like that?
Anyhow, he has been in the hobby since the disco days, and it would be very interesting to interview him. He has seen it all. |

He is from Chicago, maybe that’s it. Or his probation ended, so he can do what he wants.

The definitive answer to this is yes. Mastro "pledged through his attorneys that he would never again work in the sports memorabilia business" on a pre-sentencing memo. He and his lawyers must have reasoned that would help with sentencing. It is by no means binding but it would certainly be unethical to break your word there. I never met the man, but my understanding is that ethics isn't his strong suit.

I believe this is the first National in some time where the Feds didn’t show up and arrest someone. With all that’s going on in the hobby right now, I find that remarkable!

It sure looks like the feds simply don't care about all the drama surrounding PWCC, PSA, and these alteration scandals. Seemed like a fairly predictable outcome though.
