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.

Incredible

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

According to the Government’s public accusations and Mastro’s formal public admissions to the FBI the answer to this is: NO! Mastro’s massive shill bidding scheme pre-dated 1999.

I wonder how many of those might have been "improved" by Bill Mastro prior to the sale?

Well if that's true, that's most of what's shown.

Hi Mike! All is well! If only we could go back in time to those early auctions...for starters, you'd have ALL the T206 Proofs now!

The 1990’s REA Auctions didn’t have the beautiful full color catalogs of later years, but looking back, they were PACKED with quality material.

I know that most old auctions are online somewhere these days, but if anyone needs early printed catalogs, I might have extras (I may even have some 1995s still) and am happy to send to anyone putting together a library.

Rob- glad you’re well. I often think back to that tour & dinner that you hosted at your house about 10-12 years ago. Very cool of you.

I actually will email you. I have been building a nice library, and could use a few early catalogs.

Best-
Mike
