Just doesn't work
Over the years, I've bought over half a dozen signed photos, from AFTAL and UACC dealers, supposedly registered on the onlinecoa.co.uk website. None of them found when searching their website. Direct quote from the onlinecoa.co.uk contact email, "the adding of any items you purchase with a OnlineCOA attached is down to the company you have purchased the autograph from to add this to their database stock and not ours". Nope. Not convinced. The odds of at least five or six AFTAL / UACC-registered dealers faking an embossed, watermarked OnlineCOA certificate, or forgetting to update their stock list -- when their own credentials are excellent and well-established -- is incredibly low. I think the OnlineCOA barcodes and search fields _just don't work._
