A vintage Gunsmoke comic book signed by Jim Arness also by Ken Curtis Certificate of AuthenticityEVERY item in this auction comes with at minimum one fully illustrated and serial numbered COA signed by the worlds leading authenticator in Entertainment, KEVIN MARTIN from Piece of the Past. These letters are all searchable online in our database by number and are GUARANTEED meaning they are not an “opinion” and as such and given his known expertise, we do NOT refund based on the anonymous “opinions” of competitors at PSA JSA or Beckett who have cumulatively stickered more forgeries than all other companies combined. They also do not tell you who looks at your items and they do not guarantee their “opinions” and they have no known experts on staff in the field of entertainment. Certainly none that are court certified as Mr. Martin is (twice). IF for any reason you are unhappy with your purchase we will as your sole remedy be happy to accept it back in a future auction with NO commission charged – if an item is not as described in some way we are also happy to issue a refund. Our COA is on Ebays accepted COA list as well as every major auction house worldwide so with us you may bid with confidence.
