In the areas that I specialize, the only way I can give a legitimate opinion as to whether something is authentic is by seeing it in person. There are a wide variety of intriguing auction items that I would request to see in person, not because I think they are fakes, but because I don't know that they are authentic (after all, I haven't seen them in person). It should be exected that things that are slightly abnormal or true ones-of-a-kind will pique my interest the most.

In short, am I saying anything is fake? No ... Is such-and-such authentic? I don't know, I've never seen it in person.
