Also if the owner ever plans to sell the Wagner, he really needs to get the grade corrected otherwise he could be setting himself up for making a fraudulent sale unless he discloses the alteration in the sale, but that wouldn't make sense since the owner, not PSA would take the potential financial loss on the sale.

I don't see how PSA can be ordered to compensate the current owner for monetary loss, when he hasn't yet lost any money, and there's really no way with a 1-of-a-kind item like this, that you can assume he would lose money if he sold it. But I wouldn't be too surprised if he pursues some sort of settlement with PSA, leaving the card holdered as-is.
Everyone who bought it, or was a serious player, knew it was trimmed, and that fact didn't seem to affect value. Perhaps we should assume that it is only selling for as LOW as it has been, because everyone knew it was trimmed. If it had been a legit card, maybe it would sell for double...triple what it has (I don't really believe this, but it's as valid as assuming the value will drop to some unknown number if it's 'officially' deemed to be trimmed).
