A Note About COA's
We sell authentic signed items. Period.
We do issue COA's but as not to prove that an item is authentic. Per UACC guidelines, we also issue a hand signed receipt with all the details of your purchase including our guarantee of authenticity.
Quote From the UACC FAQ:
Q. Are Certificates of Authenticity endorsed by the UACC?
A. The UACC has been very vocal about the fact that Certificates of Authenticity (COA's for short) are totally worthless. The UACC does not issue COA's, and always encourage collectors to get a signed receipt for merchandise, instead of a COA. Frankly, they aren't worth the paper that they are printed on. A COA is only as good as the dealer that has issued it. If you buy from a UACC Registered Dealer and get a receipt, you are following the correct procedure.
We hope you understand that the issuance of a COA does not make an autograph legitimate on its own: something that many forgers would like you to believe. What counts is the credibility of the dealer.
We follow the UACC guidelines and issue signed and dated receipts with every item as your “COA.”
There are a few exceptions to this rule- JSA, GAI and PSA/DNA COA's' provide proof that the item is 'most likely genuine'. They have thoroughly examined the item and compared it to their in-person database thereby weeding out most bad stuff. We know the authenticators make mistakes but we understand that you more likely to trust, a dealer that sells 3rd party authenticated items over one who does not.
We NEVER use the authenticators to determine if an item is legitimate. We simply submit many our in-person obtained autographs to them in order to provide a higher level of confidence to our customers.
You will also notice some autographs are not 3rd party authenticated. The cost of authentication is high thus, lower value autographs will rarely be 3rd party certified. However they are still 100% authentic and we are always happy to help you submit any non-certified items to GAI at your expense if you would like them to be certified.
