My father in law gave me a very generous gift for Xmas. It's a great display piece, but I'm not sure about the authenticity. He purchased all the autos from a local card shop (one of the few still in business). He then took them to the local framer and had this nice collage put together. After a few cocktails, he mentioned that he had about $1K into this piece. All the autos came with COA's, but all the COA's were issued by the card shop (convenient). And the photo has a strange golden coloring to it.

My father in law raves about this shop, but is very naïve about the industry. I would hate to see him continue to spend his hard earned money there if they're taking advantage of him. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
