Second, I am mystified as to why some people are against requiring auction houses to fully disclose all they know about a card that they believe a potential bidder would want to know. How is transparency a bad thing for the hobby?

I agree it is a valuable and rare enough card to warrant that but I don't think it is realistic to expect a house to start looking at cards that closely and then grading the graders. Either take the card in because you feel it is graded right and it is not altered and if you feel otherwise, reject the consignment and let another less ethical house list it.
I think auction houses defer to the TPG and that is because the public does not expect or want more. Most people are buying the label on the holder.
