So here's a question: Does getting caught producing fake artworks by masters that are passed off as originals carry a stiffer penalty than producing fake autographs of sports stars and celebrities that are passed off as genuine? Or will one get you caught quicker than the other?
Presumably the artworks would be easier to definitively prove to be fake due to the greater number of earmarks (though in some cases, *ahem*, either should be obvious). Just wondering if the art world prosecutes forgers any more dilligently than does the sports/autograph world.
