<p>[QUOTE="rink28, post: 165243, member: 2498"]Well somebody in their family would of mentioned it before selling. 50 dollars treasures and thousands dollars treasures are two different price ranges. When is the last time you knew someone who went to a thrift store and walked away with a couple thousand dollar item? Very rarely does it happen. I have been to plenty of auctions and not one time where I was there an auctioneer did not say what the item was or valued at if it was worth quite a few. Heck about a month ago they were auctioning off a ring that was appraised for 3 000 and the auctioneer even announced it over the speaker before auctioning it off. That's why if if this was an original print they would of said something about it before auctioning it off. Sorry but if someone is bringing in a Miro etching (more modern piece) I would think they would have some knowledge about art or collected it. Even if the previous owner passed someone in the family knew or she collected art and had it appraised at a gallery. Also wouldn't you think if it was real wouldn't you take it to an art auction or art gallery to sell instead of a miscellaneous auction? That's where my red flag comes in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
