Dealer "TheRift" aka "Your Story" trustfully?

Someone offered me an autograph and I asked for a picture of proof, COA or what ever to verify the signing. He send me in advance the COA, so I can check this for me. So I did some research.

The COA is from "Your Story" and I found the website. They are renamed, but the logo at their shop matches with the COA.

I found therift.biz (fomer Your Story) and they say on their side, that they are registred UACC member.

But on the UACC website, I didn´t find anything about.

So I asked the community, if there is someone who can assist me in this case.

Thanks a lot in advance

Marcel

Seeing the signature itself would tell us so much more. I searched therift.biz site for emma watson and did not get any results.

I used to live in Rivergate in Peterborough where this guy is based. He had a real mix of good and bad when I went there so would need to see the signed item as Gregory S says to make a ruling. He is NOT a dealer, only a member of UACC although I'm not sure that means much anyway

Thank you very much. I replied with the picture of the signature to Gregory S.

You are definitely on the right track asking about the seller here. As far as the signature goes, I cannot tell you with any certainty. Certain things look good, but it is so rushed & shortened. Hopefully someone who's seen more from her can get more out of it than I am getting. Nice image... hope someone can tell you for sure.

Her signature has changed so much over the years to almost a squiggle now. As Gregory says it has some positives but this looks a little off and based on the COA I'd pass. Anyone can join UACC and become a Member so the COA as most are is worthless and gives you no protection.

Thank you. I think, I will pass. I probably brought a useless Natalie Portman, because I asked here AFTER (shame on me) the purchase (see another thread from me). Don´t want to repeat this. :-)

Thanks Dan and to all here.
