My main contention, which I think is still valid, is where is O'Keeffe's outrage over the millions of dollars of fake memorabilia that has emerged from Halper's collection AFTER 2005? The Card was published after that date and yet in its pages, O'Keeffe still gives a glowing review of Halper. Why the selective memory loss?

Mike, friends of Halper's would argue that he was not intentionally dishonest, but was a bit gullible. I wouldn't fault O'Keefe for not wanting to smear Halper's name, but it does seem that O'Keefe was as gullible as Halper when it came to items in Halper's collection (as were many people), and later, when it came to this obvious Wagner reprint.
O'Keefe practices 'selective outrage' - it sells better.
