is that once slabbed, the card would only be labelled as Authentic, not Restored.

That in my mind would only give further legitimacy to the fused cards, and more greatly cloud a buyers ability to judge the cards' condition.

In fact, keeping the card unslabbed would also at least alert any potential buyer to the red flags often associated with ungraded material in todays
market.

And what exactly is wrong about asking to be the #1 lot? If I had a seriously amazing piece of memorabillia, along with trying to swing a negligible sellers fee - I would push for a prominent position in the catalog for best marketing purposes. Who knows, perhaps this was even promised to Roger, and for that reason alone he feels he has been wronged.

Either way, it is all very, very wrong, and hopefully all involved in the industry look on and see the potential for disaster to their businesses if they try to pull the wool over the collecting hobby's eyes.
