AUTHENTICITY

The Propabilia Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) is your guarantee that you have purchased a genuine piece of movie or television history. This document has become the standard measure of both provenance and chain of ownership in the field of collecting Entertainment Memorabilia.

The Propabilia COA clearly displays our company logo and web address. The document will contain the production title in the top field, and a code number and item name below.

Printed on heavy card stock, our COAs come with a plastic holder for protection.

Each COA is hand signed by the authenticator and embossed with the Propabilia authenticity seal in the right hand corner.

Propabilia COA

Every item sold through the Propabilia store is researched thoroughly in order to ensure that it is an authentic piece of production used memorabilia. A record of each item containing the information on the COA is also kept for future reference. Further provenance (see below for examples) is provided whenever possible. Due to confidentiality, in most cases this information is limited to the company or auction that first sold the item in question.

An example of the provenance that can be provided whenever possible is shown below. 

Tom Hardy's ring from 'Legend' with costume continuity label.

Auction tag from Bonhams 'Film Costumes And Military Uniforms' sale, August 3rd 1987.

If needed, buyers should request further information on the item prior to purchase. Customers should understand that multiple items are manufactured for use in this industry, and not every one of them may be seen on screen. This is especially true for paper items. The terms 'production made' and 'screen match' are often used to differentiate.

In the event of loss, replacement COA's cannot be provided.
