Pulling an auction item doesn't tell the whole story
If it hadn't been for wonkaticket's post here, lots of us would not know about the authenticity issue. Even if we're checking the Collect.com auction, seeing that a lot was pulled doesn't tell why it was pulled. Lots that are perfectly genuine get pulled because of ownership disputes (divorce, death, assertion that the item was stolen, etc.), because the contractual agreement with the consignor fell apart, because the lot is giving the auction house bad publicity (e.g., Roberto Clemente plane pieces), or because something has happened to the item.
