You're right.

Looks like they are going to have to start putting a numbered hologram sticker on the LOA as well. They could be faked, but at least it makes it that much harder.

PSA could issue a certificate for the certificate. There's a whole new revenue stream! Send in your CoAs to be authenticated.

+1 (1/2) a grading bump for PSA

Hope they are not reading this thread David, you just gave them a gold mine of an idea.
If there is a buck out there, they will scramble for it.

David,

I have seen a coa issued for a coa.

When Bill Russell signs for Richard Altman, he also signs a coa for each item, signed William Russell.

So if you buy an item, you are getting two Bill Russell signatures.

Some people sell just the coa with the William Russell signature on ebay, and I saw one with a PSA cert for the William Russell signed Altman cert. It's jumped the shark already.

If you need a PSA cert in order to trust the Altman cert, then what good would the Altman cert be in the first place if people used that logic. People are getting crazy.
