"the Wagner was trimmed, it was done long before 2000, so why confront Rob Lifson about this?"
I believe he was in charge of the sale at the time. At least he certainly was quoted in the press releases regarding the realized price. If he did not pull a card from auction that he knew was altered, I would like to know. He would obviously not be the person who trimmed the card or knowingly slabbed the card, but did he knowingly sell the card? Or did he intentially not investigate the rumours surrounding the card in fear of the truth? I am personally very interested. The question should pull Bill Mastro and Doug Allen into the mix also, which relates back to Jim's original question.
IMHO: The Wagner should never be allowed to go to public auction until the truth is disclosed.
