And if they shut the auction down, or took every stolen card off the table, both collectors and consignors are deprived of potential purchases/sales if the cards are found, and if they aren't, ML owes 100 card owners money and the valuation process starts at ground zero and it well could have worked to the disadvantage of consignors. It's a no win.
