My take is Sotheby's very well may not care, but SCP will. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Moral of the story though (and in saying this I share the disgust of the Board over what has transpired), NEVER bid on a photographic item based soley on a catalogue depiction/description. Too often they omit/misrepresent material details (often innocently, though sometimes not). If on-site inspection is not possible, then call someone at the auction house, ask them to take the item in hand, and then ask your questions.

EDITED for spelling (thanks Barry)
