Came across this article today: http://eurekabooksellers.com/your-signed-books-and-artwork-just-got-harder-to-sell-in-california/
Apparently, if you sell an autographed collectible (like cards, I presume) in the state of California, you must present a COA, including the source's name and address, and keep it on file for seven years. The article says something about ebay sales being exempt, but I took a quick look at the bill's text and fell asleep under the spell of legalese. I wonder what impact, if any, this might have on the hobby. Will Jimmy Chromie or Sally Waxpack comply? Do they even know?
The bill is here:
