I think the reasonable prudent person in the buyer's position (who happens to have $100K to spend on a baseball card) should probably know that just because the auction house says the T5 is the only one out there, doesn't exactly make it so.
Is this just puffery by the auction house? I don't think so, because as king put it, the first line states as fact that this card is the only one in existence. If the auction house said "it's the only known Jackson as of the date of this printing" then this whole problem could have been avoided. See, it's all about the drafting.
In the end, I think it's a question of reliability for the jury to decide!
