I bought a lot of stuff on ebay years ago from GS/Caleb and he was on the level.

I believe they are still in business on ebay as surfinsafari505 (they moved to New Mexico). I still make an occassional purchase from them.

You can't look up most sellers' COAs, as far as I know. Not to be confused with Third Party Authenticators' certs or stickers, which are usually searchable, at least for the major companies.

COAs by themselves generally don't mean much. They represent the seller's opinion, and maybe a money-back guarantee if they offer one. But lots of COAs exist for forgeries.
