This one did infact come with a COA but I am unsure how much I can trust the COA's on Ebay you know? I am waiting the arrival of my Kurt Cobain autograph as well, that I bought off Ebay last week. It also comes with a COA and is guarenteed authentic, I will post it when I get it.

I also have a David Caruso one and Clint Eastwood one lying around somewhere if I ever find them. All my autographs are either framed or in protective plastic sleeves.

Well I would never buy an autograph from ebay to be honest (well I don't actually buy autographs at all, but if I would have, it wouldn't be from ebay) cos so many of those are fakes...
However there are some real ones. Just look for IP autograph from Jim (perhaps if you like at sites of well based sellers you might find examples there) and compare it.
Like someone posted an autograph from Pierce Brosnan on here from ebay, and I can tell for a fact it was fake, looked absolutely NOTHING like his IP autograph lol

The thing is, COA's aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Anyone with knowledge on how to use an imaging program such as Photoshop can make one.

Plus, with eBay, there are some (not all - there are many legitimate, authentic ones) photos that are PP, Autopens or even forged being passed of as authentic autographs. Those who get burnt by this are the unsuspecting buyer who doesn't know the difference.

The signature does look like Jim Carrey's though.

Hi! Thanx for replying. Yes, I am always very skeptical when buying the graphs from EBay. The ones that I have got though I inspect thoroughly and this Jim Carrey one has been signed with some sort of marker. Maybe a sharpie? When I hold it up to the light I can see the shimmering from whatever marker it was that was used to sign the photo. I know that COA's from EBay mean nothing really unless you can have someone in person the verify the signature. I am glad to know it looks like his though! LOL

I would never buy an autograph because then as a true collector I would lose my dignity

I just collect them for fun really, not any type of investment. I don't plan on selling them.

Actually before a week ago I had no idea you COULD send away to stars and ask for autographs, I thought the only way I could get them was to buy them or meet them in person. Then I stumbled upon this forum.

It's good to know, I can just send away for them now, much cheaper and less worries of buying them online.
