I agree with the COA situation. I have so many customer that buy these "autographed" posters on ebay and swear they are authentic because they came with a COA. I suggest to them that the guy selling it to them could easily make those COA's right on his computer. I often ask if they got a letter or provenance and they don't know what I am talking about. However, a letter of provenance can be a fake too. In the case of all these "fakes" that we are all talking about, the person's word was their COA and we can see how much that meant.

They are silly and a waste. I've had clients ask for them too and will provide one, but EVERYTHING I sell, comes with an UNLIMITED LIFETIME GUARANTEE as long as the item is in the same condition as originally sold and of course as long as I am still around. By the way, percentage wise, I bet I've had less returns than every major dealer out there. One that comes to mind was someone who wanted to return an Insert because the colors in the poster didn't match her livingroom. Of course, I took it back. My return policy is to take anything back for any reason whatsoever and that's been my policy for as long as I've been in business.

Because buyers kept asking us for one. I'd say about 5% of our buyers ask for one. We even have cool little numbered holograms on them. It really makes some people feel better.
