Marc S.I'm confident that the current owner does not plan to move the cards.
You are also right that Mastro would not leave money on the table. If such a flip had a high chance of occurring - then why wouldn't the new owner just cash out and double his money? Mastro has such a diverse clientelle - and they know the markets they serve better than almost anyone. (Who else can assemble nine Wagners to display at the National...?). Liquidity was not an issue for the seller or for Mastro. I think that all parties are happy with the outcome - and none of them are left with a thought of "what could have been?"
The Jackson is a fabulous card - absolutely freaking incredible. It would not sell for $500k, though.
