This was a documentary about fake art being passed as real art. There was a recent situation with signed T206 cards that is more similar to the art scheme. The downfall of the scheme was that the perpetrator didn't wait long enough to sign and sell the secondhand cards they purchased. They were in a rush to sell and it made it easier for people to find the completed auctions of the T206s while they were still unsigned, which made it easy to determine they weren't authentic after the fact.
