Emvergeoning, the SA-based blog of everything art has a long, nitpicky discussion of an apparently forged Sex-pistols flyer, purportedly promoting the Pistol’s 1978 San Antonio gig at Randy’s Rodeo. Using computer-aided forensic analysis, punk rock historians debate whether the 8×8" Xeroxed flyer is worth the estimated $2000-$3000 it might bring at an upcoming Christies popular culture auction.

“forensic analysis” is a bit of an exagerration… and it won’t be bringing anything at auction – christie’s did indeed pull it from auction after all the questions raised. whether it is actually a fake or if they are just covering their asses remains unresolved.
thanks for the post đ
