Jersey? Really? What exit?

At first glance there are 12 lots that have been withdrawn, much more than the 1-2 per auction. I would not be surprised if Brian found out that they were Moser's work and promptly withdrew them. Having dealt with Brian I have complete faith that he would do the right thing as he is a stand up guy.

To the attorneys on the site . . . If MH had a bona fide reason to believe they were being defrauded, could they turn these cards over directly to law enforcement?

That wouldn't be good for business. I wouldn't want to be known as the auction house that will send your cards to law enforcement because some anonymous guy on a forum says they may be altered. Pulling the auction and sending them back seems like the correct response.

Correction, an anonymous guy on the internet posted before and after pictures suggesting at a minimum that it was likely the cards were altered.

Brian has been through a few wars and knows all-too-well, particularly in a post Mastro world, that the primary asset for any AH/dealer is reputation and even a sniff of a scandal these days can be ruinous. He is doing what he has to do. Love to know who the consignor is. Doubt it is Moser.

Nobody will know...no auction house will disclose their consigners names

Certainly not without their permission, which obviously in a case like this you won't get.

I have sold things with consignors names on them and had to ask what they wanted to do. Example Mailing envelope from a given team. Defacing it may hurt the value but there's the name or magazine address stickers. Of course that doesn't guarantee it's the consignor but if you see a lot of them in one auction it's probable.
