As to Peter's point that they might have had a legal duty to disclose it as it was material info as to value of the cards and was in their exclusive possession, at the very least I don't see how an auction house can be criticized for regarding that as a credible legal argument.

Honestly, I'd love to hear their thinking (if there was any) on the determination of whether or not to grade the whole find at once. Surely they had to know it would lower the prices realized of the consignment. I would find it dubious that the decision to grade them all at once was rooted solely in a legal determination and not, at least in part, to the publicity garnered from the "Black Swamp Find."
