Live in Oz - yep already understand the wizard jokes - and have only ever purchased from UACC dealers, UACC dealers of the year or their (one of) suppliers, total of 5 - everything (total of 7) that i have put up for authentication, from this forum, Roger and PSA etc, has not passed their scrutiny - not that i doubt their opinions/professionalism/knowledge/abilities.
I have purchased a lot more than seven items over the last 2 years!
Becoming increasingly disillusioned with the fact that supposed 'guaranteed' COA's etc from reputable dealers seem to be a thing of the past - if they ever were.
