Genuine COA – Autograph Certificate of Authenticity

Genuine COA Autograph authentications will be available in the Showplex, the 2nd floor of the Pavilion (anime area), and in the Star Wars/Expo Hall.

For authentication, be sure to ask the show representative at/near the autograph table to place a sticker on your signed item, for each signature. You can then take the autographed item to the Genuine COA booth, where you can claim the Certificate of Authenticity and your item will receive an exclusive serial number, with details registered on the web. Authentication is $10 per signature.
