| Since the debut of our IR laser authentication service, we have had an incredible amount of feedback. I'm happy to say that the input from my clients has been 100% positive, and I've received enthusiastic encouragement from many complete strangers. People are ready for an objective, scientific approach to authentication of valuable artifacts. The collecting community will never be the same. But not everyone wants this change. Many people have benefited for a long time from the current system of "in-my-opinion" authenticating. Dealers who paper their own relics, a few of the collectors who are heavily invested in traditional COAs, artifakers, and unscrupulous individuals who knowingly pass along fakes to their friends and associates all FEAR the light of truth. They have a lot to lose. In the past these people have demonstrated that their priorities lie within themselves and not with fairness or archaeology. This soon becomes apparent as the laser sorts through a collection of relics. It's inevitable that these desperate and unethical individuals will resort to lies and personal attacks in an attempt to discredit the new technology that threatens their income and credibility. This is already happening. While my feedback from customers is 100% positive, the response from those who are benefiting from the current system has been 80% negative. Even when they see it work, denial and slander are the usual response. At first I was puzzled by this. I'm so naive! All I had to do was follow the money. It seems that most honest collectors are completely sick and tired of the current status quo. Science has supplied an answer and change is coming. |
