No reason

You mean how they didn't disclose that Jack Kirby actually drew all of these?

What do you think is fake? This one certainly has Boring's style (although, I don't know why someone would want it):

Not sure if Rick is a Russian troll on this.....

I appreciate when people on these forums point out suspicious sellers, and this auction house is certainly a candidate!

P.S. Note how many lots are "attributed" to famous artists.

Attr =Always an issue.  Always from 'a private collection', so there is no accountability on authenticity or provenance.  Never published for some reason either. 

With that many red flag sale wide? It may be that a boring Boring increases it authenticity.  A good fake is still a fake, NOT saying this is, but it always has a voice for it's authenticity that is muffled and doesn't ring quite right, especially regarding history and origin of the piece.

I took a second, and third look. Quite a few are suspicious. Then I noticed they were from St. Petersberg, Russia—red flag. Those cannot be Lichtenstein’s works, and the Miro’s are pretty shaky (among others). Herve and Schultz are too easy to fake...and the Shuster piece looks like a recreation of another Schuster image or images I think I have seen.

Amazing, Hard to think about the rationale for liveauctioneers to allow this.

The rationale?  Money, coupled with a complete lack of consequence, which is basically the rationale du jour for everything.
