Do you have any links where people had any proof that this is happening at the level that many claim? I'm not doubting (or supporting) that it's going on, just wish we all knew more about it.
My very non-expert opinion has been that the polar opposite opinions of "oh it's not hard at all to know any fake (once you've gotten used to handling vintage" or "more advances fakes has flooded the market and so few know" are both way too exaggerated, and if the first statement was a 1 and the second a 10, that the truth is somewhere around a 3.
And I could be very wrong. But if I am, I'd love more proof than bitter forum people making claims that "I know this is happening here or there"
That is not describing you though
