Signed COA's protection

[njf015]

Have has most of my COA's signed.
Is it worth the effort getting them laminated to keep them 'fresh' or just leave them in the model boxes etc??

Any thoughts appreciated :)

Depend whether you want to display them I suppose. Some perspex frameless frames (if that makes sense) look good on display and is reversible, ulike lamination which I'm not a fan of. You botch a lamination and its over...

Or a condom? -

People use plastic sleves in a folder, I've seen a few laminated flyers that come with some cars, but no COA's.

anyone got any pics of certificates set up in folders? sort of in a display folder?

[Damage]

IIRC Minh has them in a folder

??? me? lol not me mate, I keep them in with the original box but i remember someone here put it in a photo album.

[TAG05]

keep all my COA's in a plastic sleeve inside an A4 folder/binder....
.....stored away from the models.....
Seems to keep them in pristine condition, so long as my boys dont find them......

You will have to get a photo if you can one day Tag, as that would be great to see.

do you mind getting a picture up for us to see? where did you get the sleeves from? its hard with the biante certificates being so many different sizes

[UNDFTD]

i keep my COA's at my workshop in a safe, the boxes at my grandmas house, and the cars at my house in my cabinet and my other MIB cars are at my old mans house.

different locations so the thiefs can never get a hold of the whole lot....not that its a likely scenario but has happened to some unfortunate people before

[minh427]

Anyone here tag their models or coa with the Biante pen?

[smokey_dj]

dan you and i think exactly alike i do the same thing but different relos and trusted ppl

[TAG05]

I will get a pic up in the next couple of days.... I am about to put wifey in hospital for baby #3 tomorrow!!

The plastic sleeves I have are the A5 style for the larger certificates and CC style cert's... I have a firmer type plastic sleeve I cama across years ago... can't remember where now, but they fit the Biante certs well.

I do something very similar.....I print out an "info" sheet about the model slide that in too (Picture of model,box,coa etc state the COA number....build number.....purchase price.....product # etc)

I have my 1/43 COAs in a plastic sleeve that you use to put football cards in. The CC COAs fit nicely and some Biante ones.

My 1/18 COAs are in a photo album (wedding style) using the little corner tabs to hold them in. Will post a photo when I get a chance.

[kts350]

i have my coa's still in the boxes looking at getting some sort of folder or album to put them in.

[Maq]

My mate has a smaller album about the size of 1 pic per page and he puts a pic of the model one the left page and the Biante COA on the right

[Road Runner 72]

Nice Idea, thanks for taking the photos, & hope you feel better soon!

my advice to anyone using a photo album, is to make sure the album uses acid free paper.
