"According to the plea agreement, when Mastro bought the Wagner card in 1986, it had bowed boarders, rendering it less valuable. Mastro “personally cut the side borders…using a paper slicing machine,” then sold it without disclosing the alterations, the filing stated."
I guess that settles that.

Even his silence would be a big statement now.

Would love to see the deposition now...does Bill Mastro say that Joe Orlando knew the card was trimmed before it was encapsulated? If so, is Joe now on the hook for a similar fraud case...can you have accessory to fraud? I know the current owner would not return it to PSA for a refund but could he sue for damages between the current value of a trimmed Wagner and the value of his purchase? Lots of questions still to be answered.

He actually faces up to five years in prison...here's a fairly good account:
