##### **Autograph Disclosure**

##### This item contains an autograph. The exact signature you will receive is shown in the photos. If a COA is included, it will be shown in the listing. For items without a COA, we intentionally do not issue generic “seller certificates,” as these often have little authentication value in the collectibles market.

##### Many signatures in our inventory were obtained directly or acquired from reputable collectors and dealers. When purchasing signed items, we compare signatures against known examples from established autograph references to ensure they align with known authentic styles from the appropriate signing era. Autograph evaluation can involve personal interpretation, so buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence and review the photos carefully prior to purchase.

##### \*\*\*All signed items are sold as collectible memorabilia based on the signature shown in the photographs\*\*\*
