Trick is, there were definitely lists of them kept somewhere and with books being unique, anyone trying to sell one would get arrested.

- masklinn 6y ago> anyone trying to sell one would get arrested. Absolutely not. Again, every few years there are cases of millions worth of books having been stolen (and sold). Priore operated for 20 years. Discretion is highly valued in the art world, and collectors are generally careless at best, they will balk at obviously stolen items but a thin layer of legitimacy will suffice. But that is why fencing rate art is not trivial unless un steal to order.
