I don't think there is such a thing as bullet proof paperwork? PHS docs are being duplicated now to the extent even Jim Mattison can't tell from looking at the docs and he needs to check his database against the docs. Jim advises getting new docs with each prospective purchase.With todays level of sophisticated fraud, paperwork is just the start in authenticating a car. And from my perspective Chevy's are always the most difficult to authenticate.

Why is it that every time there is an auction there are stories of folks not being very happy with the outcome?

I think the auction company needs to take some responsibility for the product they are offering. If a situation like this arises I would think they would want to bend over backwards to investigate the claims and do everything to make amends.

Buyers must be confident when they go to an auction that what they are being offered is what they think it is.

Just to clarify, the COPO Connection had issued verifications to those owners based on VIN. Similar to the way Canadian documentation is obtained. When the CC website was up, there was a disclaimer indicating that it was beyond the organization's control to monitor the way a vehicle was restored. Neither the Canadian documentation or the COPO verification ever required an inspection before getting paperwork.
