Thanks Robert but maybe I don't understand the entire process. I had 6 items total and was told all passed authentication. I requested LOA on 3 items. Are you saying that if I had not requested the LOA that I would not have received the simple little card and a sticker? What about the 3 items that I took home with me that contained a sticker? They evidently didn't required a 2d look. Also, how can an item possibly be more close scrutinized from a picture vice having the item in hand.

Not disagreeing with you, but it just doesn't make common sense that is the process.

FYI, it is now over a month and I haven't received the letters yet.
