There are a lot of interesting aspects to provenance. I give hobby examples where revelation of the provenance has shown auction items to be fake or altered, and one where a collector's research into the history of an item he purchased online proved it authentic and substantially raised its resale vale. He wrote to the organization listed on the item and was in for a pleasant surprise.
