Bill Mastro and his crew are even worse than I thought

So when Mastro told me they accidentally lost the EXMT Loudermilk card from the complete set of T207s (during the photo shoot of top cards in the set) I sent for consignment in the mid 2000's I should suspect that they maybe they were fibbing

Holy smokes...did they make it right with you? Has the card ever resurfaced?

Yes they reimbursed me for what I thought was the value but I will always think that a high grade T207 set minus Lowdermilk (plus my reimbursed value) would not have sold for the same as a complete set.
The explanation was pretty funky, they figured someone probably knocked it in the trash during the photo process (????) It was a helluva card, red Cycle back.
I later missed the set so much I put together another T207 set and still have it.

Buckeye alum here, and I agree Michigan should strive to return to its lofty position as the second best program in the Big Ten.

That is incredibly sketchy story

LOL well, the guy who provided the story stole from everyone he came in contact with, lied to every friend he ever had, cheated on his wife, cooperated with the government against his friends and then obstructed justice. And you think his story might be sketchy?

Jeff,
Stop beating around the bush and tell us how you really feel about Bill Mastro

Dan--I saw Pelini was fired. It has to be tough getting rid of a guy with a 67-27 coaching record, but I think it is a good move for the program. Hopefully, the next coach will be more like the class coaches from the past (but still lose to the Badgers)

In all the time that has passed since it fell in the garbage can, you would expect the card to show up somewhere if had actually been pocketed. I assume you've had an eye peeled for it.

I was in their office I think in 2005...it would not surprise me that something could get lost in there. I was pretty surprised to see memorabilia just laying around on the floor in piles here there and everywhere. The place was locked up like Fort Knox though so it wasn't like the public could get to it though.

The problem was locked in, not out.
