Fake Sex Pistols poster at Christies
Internet investigators were able to expose some art world fraud when this poster was listed in Christies online catalog, valued at $2,000-$3,000.
Eagle-eyed font geeks immediately identified the word "land" as being written in Comic Sans, a font created and made available to the public in 1995. And there are a ton of other inconsistencies, read a full breakdown here.
In the end, the tipsters informed Christies of their findings and Christies pulled the auction. The listing link now leads to a file not found, but Ultrasparky has a screenshot.
