Yeah, and I don't see any signs of tampering.
|
It's really popular.
|
Nope.
|
Our troubles are about to begin I bet this collection's worth a fortune I dunno.
|
Just because the wooden vault seems to be genuine
|
doesn't necessarily mean that the treasure is genuine too Here we go...
|
Wooden vaults have fooled appraisers before There's no guarantee the wood was carved 300 years ago And we can't be sure that the jewels are authentic antiques You really have to be careful if you wanna buy an item like this.
|
He's right.
|
Hey, what's that guy saying?
|
He's trying to lower its price.
|
Basically, he's making false charges There's also the possibility that the vault is genuine, but the contents have been replaced This tactic is known as a "transplant. Both the vault and the contents could be fake as well That makes sense.
|
Don't be impressed by him.
|
Shouldn't we put a stop to this This is what an auction review is all about I mean, it's not exactly the most honorable thing Everyone just wants to get the best deal However, it wouldn't hurt to put this guy in his place.
|
And there's the possibility that the wood is from the same era as the jewelry but it was carved more recently Hold on a minute.
|
That's clearly not the case with this vault.
|
The glue used to seal it is obviously old And who are you?
|
I'm an appraiser working for the owners of that item.
|
I can vouch for its authenticity There's no evidence to suggest it's been resealed, and it's entirely authentic Oh really?
|
The glue used back then only needed to be heated and it would be sealed.
|
The best forgers would melt the glue and reuse it which makes the seal look as though it had never been opened It's a process known as cauterization This guy really knows his stuff.
|
This is used in appraisal, but it's also used by killers If somebody does this, it looks as though it's never been opened That's not entirely true.
|
The cauterization process would've left scorch marks along the seam You'd be able to see that the glue had been slightly discolored from the heat But take a look and you won't see any of that It's the real deal Yeah, you'd think this discoloration is something
|
you could see with your naked eye But it is even difficult for professional appraisers Seriously, don't be impressed by him!
|
Do you have an official certificate of authenticity No.
|
You expect us to take you on your word that it's the genuine article Why didn't you get it authenticated Because getting something certified takes too long.
|
We just didn't have enough time to get it done for this year's auction, that's all.
|
Well, in that case...
|
So there's no way we can be sure it's authentic.
|
This is no good... The others are starting to hesitate.
|
Hey, Ojii-san What other scams are there besides cauterization Wh-What?
|
Gon!
|
Don't you realize that he's the one who's been trying to sabotage us Why are you.. Don't worry...
|
It's fun! It's like he's revealing secrets to a magic trick.
|
Hey, kid, you're the one who owns this wooden vault?
|
Yeah. So tell me, what are some of the other tricks?
|
One's called autopsy.
|
Autopsy?
|
You display both the opened genuine wooden vault
|
and cheap knock-offs of the original treasures People might not think they're fak because you have them out there nicely on display Oh, so this could be autopsy, right?
|
Uh, yeah, I guess so.
|
What's resealing?
|
Resealing is where...
|
you reseal the vault with new glue.. This kid...
|
I couldn't figure out why I found him so intriguing, but now I know why...
|
He isn't concerned with whether something's good or bad He didn't judge me when I confessed that I made forgeries or when these dealers started criticizing the item he brought He's not looking to place blame on anyone He's just curious about everything If something impresses him he's open to it whether it's good or bad... |
All right, what else C'mon, that's enough for now, isn't it?!
|
So are we gonna be able to sell it or not?
|
We won't know 'til the auction starts.
|
But some of the brokers there today showed some real interest If their curiosity piques when the bidding starts tomorrow the prices could go up fast Whatever happens, I learned a lot!
|
Tell me about it.
|
It's like you've totally forgotten what we're trying to do here!
|
Cauterization and autopsy, huh. Actually, there's another foolproof trick.
|
There is?!
|
Even the most experienced appraisers
|
who know how to spot the cauterization tric have been fooled by this Can you guess how it's done Were they left sealed?
|
Yeah. The fooled appraisers all bought it
|
thinking it had never been cauterized or opened And they were right too It had never been cauterized And they had never been opened, right?
|
I know! The treasure inside must've been fake all along Wrong.
|
I got it!
|
They removed the original treasure by making another hole Exactly.
|
They made another hole, away from the seal.. replaced the jewelry inside with fakes, and patched up the hole This method is known as ostomy It's a really simple method but a lot of veteran appraisers have been fooled Ironically, all their years of experience actually work against them They assumed that since the glue s... |
