Default Interesting Provenance for High Grade Wagners

Posted By: DD

"This treasured collectible's distinctive, large-size attribute, in combination with its sublime illustration and its praiseworthy state of preservation throughout, dictates that the offered piece stands as the 5th-, 6th-, or 7th- best of its kind known to exist.

The foregoing claim relies on a body of scholarship that's too comprehensive to be recounted in a single description (though a sidebar is provided to substantiate it)."

How about the 9 Wagner's that Alan Rosen claims to have handled? Even though all the provenance according to Mastro is not shown, I don't see Mr. Mint in there at once. Does this mean he never handled a Wagner better than any on the list?
