Yes I agree. The gamble is always worth a shot. I did the same with a Marc Chagall lithograph I saw in a very local auction. The internet went down in the room as the lot came up - I'd not noticed it before but it was on a wall about 10 feet to my left. I was down to my last £300, decided to take a risk as there was very little interest in it. I got it for £260! It was not only absolutely right but inscribed and dedicated as well!

Lucky that day, but then again I've missed more than I've got!

Yes the gamble is a very good suggestion.
