The big auction houses have to keep the consigners happy...and this is accomplished by commanding big hammer prices...any way that they can. So if failing to disclose a little info here and there will help accomplish this end...that's what they do. So win win for the auction house and the consigner...lose lose for the collector/investor!
And as we all know pop reports are like the state by state synopses in the usa today...they just tell a small part of the whole story!
