Way back when, I bought two sets of similar Beatles' forgeries that had been checked-over for an auction house by the guy that runs IAA. I can't say that he officially authenticated them but it was £3 - £4 k down the Swanee in any event..

It was more than 20 years ago so I am fairly philosophical about it now. Sometimes you need experiences like that to learn to be cautious. Getting pickpocketed in Barcelona in 2019 was a similar and much more traumatic one.

It sold for 5,000 Euros, which is about $5,200. That would have been a real bargain if it was authentic.

The auctioneer was on mute when the lot was sold but I presume he didn't urge caution. I don't think any bids were made during the auction so I presume a commission bidder was (un)lucky enough to get it. With a hammer price of Euro 5,000 (+ at least 30% fees) the auctioneer must have known it was dodgy.

For sure. If I was the consignor and thought it was real, I would be crying if it sold at that price.

They are also a very difficult auction house to deal with. The uk branch went into liquidation with I understand hugh debts
