There is also slang. Words that are used incorrectly but are well understood when placed in a certain arena. The autograph hobby is one of those places. Pre certified means in this arena to mean that it has been looked at a found to be authentic. Why else would you accept bids or even show it. You look like a fool if where not to be what people thought to be fact.
Wow I have watched to much of Down Town Abbey

For the record I do think the wording could be changed to be more clear. When I see the term pre-certified, I have to agree that in my mind it has been looked at already, not that it will be looked at before auction end. If I were them I would take that term out....then if a piece is found to be bad it can be pulled. That's just me though..... Just trying to keep it real...and I still think they are a good, honest auction house too.

how easy is it in the auction software to change the pre-certified to pending certification*? it would eliminate alot of these problems as well as the perception of misleading their potential bidders.


*really easy.
