Is this guys services reliable?

Hi everyone, I'm new here and wanted a bit of advice. I recently bought two sketch's supposedly by Charles Schulz, sent them to be verified by Jason Cullen from rareandsigned.com who verified them as genuine, I was thrilled with the news so I happyly coughed up 120£ to the man for the two COA's. Are Jason's services reliable and are they recognised? Thanks

I urge you to simply get the refund offered by both seller ASAP. Apart from the signatures, the "works" are ridiculous. I have seen better synthetic Schiele on my own easel.

Good ole Simon Parr purchases tons of this crap and then sells as real legit works of art (for a mark up of course but still "peanuts" (pun intended) compared to what a real legit authentic piece of art would go for). Its sickening.

with "works in the style of" in the description, wouldn't be possible to go ahead with a return right? *sigh* i'm thinking i might have to chalk this down as a very expensive learning experience... the ebay purchases I'm ok with, I bought them with the knowledge that it could be a fake, what really upsets me is that I paid 120 pounds to rareandsigned.com for a crap COA that's not worth the paper it's printed on.

"...the work is presented, according to the regulations in force, as a copy of the author."

I'm sorry - but what other outcome is expected with this verbiage (my emphasis added) in the auction?

But I don't see why you cant simply return them. I don't any stipulations? Return because they...don't match your sofa or your dog hates them. I don't think it matters.

If I did issue certificates, I certainly would not issue them based on a scan. That says a lot there. A meaningful certificate, to me, would only be issued after physically handing the item in question. Anything else is essentially a "quick opinion".
