COA Question

Unread post by crossyourx3 »

I have seen autographs on ebay and other websites that come with a Certificate of Authenticity as proof that to autograph is real but out of curiosity is an autograph really worth more if you have one?

Just because it has a COA, doesn't make it real...

Look: http://www.fanmail.biz/mboard/viewtopic ... 4&t=282641
Britney Spears==>> 6 #1 albums. 2 diamond albums. 8 platinum albums. 400+ awards. 200M+ records sold. Britney has sold over 45 million records this decade despite only releasing three albums. Globally, Britney has more #1 singles than any other female artist except Madonna and Rihanna. "Oops!...I Did It Again" by Britney is the 5th best selling album of the 2000s decade worldwide. Britney is the only female artist to chart her first seven albums in the top two of the Billboard 200. Britney has achieved at least one #1 album in 3 different decades (90's, 00's, 10's). Britney is the first solo female artist from the 90's to reach 1 billion Spotify streams. Despite NOT even being a single, 'Tom's Diner', ft. Britney , has become Giorgio Moroders best-selling digital track. 2015 Billboard Awards ratings reached a 14-year high, with numbers peaking during Britney's performance. She IS the princess of Pop.

Not worth the paper it's printed on. YOU could make one.
...as seen in the national press - Daily Record, The Sun & The Daily Express (check them out here >> https://twelveby12.wordpress.com/2012/1 ... ers-day-d/)

As stated above, COA's are worthless. Give me about 2 minutes and I could create you the most believable looking COA imaginable. If you're looking for an autograph and you're wanting something to make you feel more comfortable about its authenticity, look for items that are PSA/DNA or JSA Authenticated. This mostly applies to sports items but they do authenticate non-sports items. Some people hate these guys, some love them...I personally think they do a decent job. Also, be familiar with the signature you're looking for.
