[Aquarian Sports Cards]

LOL. You're funny. I only "ordered" you to stop making bad comparisons.

The only answer that doesn't involve destroying them that makes any sense is to treat them like any seized asset and the government sells them at auction. And then what do you think happens with them?

That's why I think they have to be destroyed.

To answer your irrelevant hypothetical, if the Gretzky Wagner was seized as evidence it would STILL be a different scenario as that card will never be as anonymous as the cards in the current scandal. There's almost no conceivable way that the card could be sold fraudulently in the future because ostensibly anyone interested and able to purchase it would be well aware of it's history. You can't say that about some random 1952 Topps Mantle of which there are thousands graded and it's not inconceivable that there are nice examples that still aren't graded. So 20 years from now a card the government sold as altered is sold as legit because it's impossible to trace. Something the Wagner will never be.
