by the way, this law also effects art sales

Hi Everyone ---
As many of you know, I mostly sell lobby cards and posters on Ebay and
occasionally sell original stills. Very occasionally, some of the stills
are autographed. California has just passed an extremely onerous law
(AB-1570) that requires sellers of autographed items to provide a
ridiculously detailed Certificate of Authenticity. Here's a description of
the new law.

160AB1570 The law is ambiguously worded, so it's somewhat unclear whether
this new obligation resides solely in connection with sales to California
buyers or if it applies to all sales that originate in California,
regardless of the state or country in which the buyer resides. For now, I'm
thinking that on the rare occasion that I do have an autographed photo or
lobby card for sale, I will prohibit sales to residents of California, but
frankly, I'm not sure if that is enough to avoid having to issue COAs.
What are the rest of the dealers doing in connection with this? I am curious
to hear your response.
