Authenticity is Everything
Micheal Keaton/Celebrity Authentics
Hi! I bought a funko for the Michael Keaton signing from Crlberty Authentics. Long story short the coa number isn’t on their database. I reached out and they said there updating it and it wouldn’t be until everything is shipped. I know they don’t have the greatest reputation and I probably shouldn’t have spent any money. Just want to know if they are legit and if the Signiture looks okay? Please tell me I’m worrying to much.

A dealer could pay for the celeb to sign 500 but sell hundreds more that they forge. The celeb would likely never know.

"The celeb would likely never know."
Without a great resource like this site the same might be true of many collectors.

If they are selling fakes than how are they still in business?
-

I don't think anyone said they are selling fakes, or not, but since many or possibly most buyers will never pursue any further authentication and just hang the item on a wall that business model would generally work well.

BAS?
Granted, I would accept their opinion on Frosty the Snowman but otherwise thumbs down from me.

You don’t think it’s real?

It was a joke - you didn't click on the link, I take it.
The reference to "BAS" passed me by (i.e. I didn't recognize it to mean "Beckett Authentication Services") by so I had to Google it and that link was the first of the results from my search.
I hate those algorithims - no, that's not what I meant. Synonyms? No - wait while I text my daughter....................
ACRONYMS - that's it!

I did - good laugh :-)

I sent a picture to Swau for a quick opinion and it came back as likely genuine. I also sent pictures to Beckett. Again how reliable is a quick opinion? I have sent them stuff that was deemed fake but jsa looked at it and said it was.

It is not suggested to buy on the strength of a Quick Opinion. When we had sales here they were not allowed with just a Quick Opinion. Items can pass QO and fail full authentication from the same company.

So in other words its not reliable?
-
-
It is...a guide, often used in conjunction with one's own accumulated knowledge and/or that of people you trust. It is "quick" - not a fully comprehensive judgement.
