Sounds petty and picky, especially since Sean is no longer signing obviously, but if you pay that much for it, you should enjoy looking at it...not wondering if it were real or wishing it looked better. I say if you're not happy with the purchase, return it.

I mean, a COA is what it is. I could make up a nice piece of paper that says an autograph is legitimate and sign it, etc. It is all about the credibility of the issuing party. If it comes direct from the Redskins, then that would pull some weight. Similarly NFL.com or PSA/DNA (or Leader in Sports or PSGameGear). I didn't pay $499 either, because I'm not totally nuts, they had it listed for $199 (perhaps a flag in and of itself), but I was going with the "if it comes from Redskins.com it has to be legit" rational when I hit the "confirm purchase" button. Thanks for the feedback. Now I'm just working to get through the "All Memorabilia purchases final (even if the auto is bogus)" policy at Redskins.com.
