So this Da Vinci painting was sold today, and here's a key paragraph from the CNN article. Am I just jaded by this industry (Wagner Card), the vintage wine industry ("Billionaire's Vinegar"), and the art industry ( I don't follow art, so I have no reference material) to think "RED FLAG! RED FLAG! RED FLAG!"?

We are the experts, we own the product, we authenticate it, we put it into circulation. I mean, come on, right?

"When "Salvator Mundi" reappeared at auction in 1958, it was dismissed as a copy and sold for £45 ($59). Acquired by a group of art dealers for less than $10,000 in 2005, the painting -- which was in poor condition and had been heavily overpainted -- was painstakingly restored and subsequently authenticated."
