Having some fun, hopefully, increasing number of fakes will reduce prices, but I am not so sure.

Hello Franek,
I hope, this discussion is not only a fun or joke or something like that for
you. The problem with fakes and wrong desciptions of non original photos
is really serious. But how do you want to proof if an original wartime photo
was made from a copied negative? By he way I've never heard about
reproduced negatives in the 1940s. You can find enlarged wartime photos
of negatives (or maybe photos), when no negatives were existent any
more. That's it.
The prices of good photos will not fall until some collectors are ready to
pay such great sums. So you have to bid high prices too, maybe you'll
be a "lucky winner". I wish you all the best. But the increasing number
of fakes will have no influence on the prices, I'm sure.
