The discrepancies between this interview and some of what has come to be the accepted lore of the card (i.e., the 30-for-30 short "Holy Grail", that ESPN did with Keith Olbermann and others a decade or so ago...) is that here you have Mastro saying it's "one of the larger" Wagners that exists. And everyone in the older interviews are saying it's short, up to 1/16 short, and that's how they knew it was sheet cut or trimmed and not factory.
Which is true?

Can't they both be true? Mastro claimed in the interview to not have touched the top and bottom borders. According to him, whoever cut it from the sheet cut it that size, but left massive borders on the left and right, which he then trimmed. So the card could be short, and still have wide borders on the sides.
