Elvis Presley, just no where near the mark?

This is only one example of the items offered by Christiana Auction Gallery that are no where even close to the mark. Every auction they put forward is littered with examples like this.

What is obvious is that they don't have any third party authentication and they just rely on the COA's such as this one. No contact, address, phone or any other details of the provider.

I am sure that nobody on this site would buy these very obvious fakes but if anybody is looking at this post and comes across this auction house PLEASE beware.

If you do a search on our site for Christiana, you'll see a few Michael Jackson threads that we have on this "auction house". They take ANY thing in without vetting the items (awful forgeries - not even close re: MJ).

Unfortunately these days, there seems to be pop up auction houses everywhere that really aren't auction houses at all, that sell on places like Live Auctioneers/Invaluable website, intermingling with real reputable companies.

I don't know which is worse...the bogus Elvis autograph or the atrocious grammatical errors in that worthless COA...

I suppose one is as bad as the other...

I like that they added the generic movie camera/star graphics for good measure. Is that some sort of requirement of crappy COAs?

No address, no signature (that appears to be cursive font of some sort), bad grammar (as you mentioned), horrendously unprofessional layout - everything about that "COA' is terrible.
