Certificates of Authenticity? How do you store yours?

[newshane]

I have CGC graded books that came with COAs when they were raw. I'd like to store them indefinitely. How do you guys store such documents? Mylite + board?

If you mean pedigree certificates, I find most fit great right behind the CGC slab.

[Silver Surfer]

Crack the book out, put it in the back of the mylar?

This.

On a roll, hanging on the wall near the toilet.

I do this as well

I'm not just talking about pedigree certificates...I'm talking about the sort of COAs you get with Dynamic Forces or Wizard mail-away offer books...

I throw them away,really who cares?

I actually throw them away as well.

If its a slabbed book I usually just throw it in behind the slab, inside the bag. If I want to look at the back cover of a book I always pull it out of the CGC bag anyway.

Yeah, I don't get that either - if you're trying to sell a book, a COA carries value (it may be small, but it's there). Makes no sense to just throw them away :shrug:

So a DF certificate that states that this was one out of 60 copies that DF slabbed at 9.6 or higher carries value above the value of the book itself???

 

I could see saving, and I do, if the book has a limited print run - other than that, the cert. goes in the trash.

Its like throwing a bit of history away. Its just a bonus when I buy a pedigree book and the old cert's come with he parcel. The CGC label is not the be all end all when it comes to comics, most of the great collections surfaced well before CGC ever did.

Why would anyone want to throw away something like this?

[oakman29]

Let me be very frank.I was just kidding when I said I threw them away,thought I'd get a chuckle or two.I didn't want to make a sheit storm for anyone.
