I'm not so sure this is much of an indicator. Many of the Florida fakes and their illegitimate spawn have a street address and phone number on the certs.

When dealing with an unknown COA, I think the best course of action is simply to show the autograph.

Agree 100% with this. An autograph should be judged on the signature itself and nothing else. Whether it's a "known authenticator" or not, it's best to judge the signature on the signature.

To correct Richard, an address that is not a UPS store, and a phone number that is not a pizzeria.
