Collecting is not only fun and leisure - it is also a financial investment.
Do you buy a car without getting a second opinion or doing some research first ?
Of course, not !
Therefore I highly recommend to educate yourself before you buy more expensive space memorabilia. Make sure you visit collectspace.com and check out the message boards there - tons of valuable information there can save you hundreds of $$$ spent on questionable material. While other collecting areas such as sports and entertainment are way more dangerous regarding fakes you can spot fakes or Autopens on a regular basis at various online auctions houses such as ebay as well. There are also several yahoogroups dedicated to the space collectibles. Just search for -Astronauts- or -Astroaddies-
Even if you do not have the time to research the Internet, newsgroups and message boards make sure you learn as much from your seller as you can. We at Spaceflori.com gladly provide any reference and refer you to other experienced collectors and dealer should you desire a second opinion about any of our offered items.
We gladly issue a certificate of authenticity with any item we sell on request (all Spaceflori presentations come with one in any case) though we generally do not trust in COAs as often advertised with questionable material in online auctions. Most of them are not worth the paper they are printed or written on. A COA can maybe document the chain of ownership, but not more - thus it is always an advantage buying from someone who is specialized in space memorabilia :
Here at Spaceflori.com only space memorabilia is sold. I have been a collector for more than 20 years now and stand behind every item I offer. Everything I sell has been researched by me personally and found to be authentic. While I personally believe in auctions systems such as ebay I highly recommend checking with knowledgable people first before buying something more expensive there.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED ! At Spaceflori.com every item can be returned within a 2 week time frame after receipt with no questions asked for a full refund or trade without going through the hassle of proving that something is wrong. At Spaceflori.com no questions or reasons are asked for !
