How do you forensically prove anything with the card in a holder? And don't you void the guarantee if you remove it? Maybe there could be some stipulated procedure but I don't know.

And I am not sure you could show a loss. The Wagner is almost universally conceded to be first sheet cut (rendering it AUTH even before Mastro) and then trimmed. It's ROI is astronomical. Who has lost any money in the scandal? You don't like your altered card, just sell it for a profit. Duty to mitigate, remember.
