To eliminate some concerns as to the authenticity of an autographed item, I include in most cases, what I call a POA (Proof Of Authenticity), which usually is a copy of the flyer addressed to me, or my proof of admission to the convention and the page listing the artist as a scheduled guest. While I provide certificates for some items, my experience at early conventions is that, the table selling certificates is far removed from most of the artists. As a result, the signing isn't witnessed by the seller of the certificate, so how can this be guaranteed authentic? Another source of certificates are those printed up by the seller who guarantees authenticity!!! Just a thought not to get hung up on certificates. I have been selling signed items on ebay since December 4, 1998. I haven't had any problems with authenticity in all that time! I personally guarantee that the signature is authentic, and was signed by the creator, witnessed by me. If you prefer a certificate I also provide those upon request. Contact me if you want to see one of my certificates.

 I always pack carefully and securely, in a padded mailer, new bag and board, sandwiched between heavy cardboard for protection.


Postal rates have dramatically increased, and since ebay charges sellers fees including the P&H, please be aware of these changes. My only other option is to exclude International buyers from my auctions!

PLEASE DO NOT PAY FOR MULTIPLE WINS INDIVIDUALLY. WAIT FOR MY INVOICE OR YOU WILL PAY MORE P&H.


I will always combine shipping and I am willing to ship to your preferences. Bulk orders can be shipped media mail to save fees and I will always cap shipping charges.
