I am still putting together my blog dealing with the way authenticators are treated, so I will hold off on writing it for a few more days.

Today I want to focus on the Mastro catalog that I received in the mail today. It came poly-bagged and included a magazine put out by SGC, and to my surprise, a DVD about The Lionel Carter Collection.

If you haven’t heard yet, Carter is a true baseball card pioneer and this year he decided to sell his collection through Mastro Auctions.

I just finished watching the video and I must say that I am very impressed. The 30-minute DVD was one of the most informative programs covering the hobby that I have ever seen.

The video includes interviews from Bill Mastro, Doug Allen, Lionel Carter and others.

The great thing about the program is that you get to see Doug and Lionel going through the collection. Video allows the viewer to experience much more than a photograph could provide.
I think in the future you will see many more auction houses utilizing more video, at least I hope so. I would have paid money for this DVD and it actually came free with Mastro’s catalog.
