In my opinion the Wagner part of the case is weak. Mastro is not charged with trimming the card, as most people probably assume. Rather he is accused of committing fraud when he said, in advertising his experience, that he had sold the most expensive baseball card. As a historical fact that was indisputably true whether or not the card was trimmed.
