Buying from Auction, by dullahmo on May 25, 2022 9:20:21 GMT 1, Long term lover but only short term collector.
I`ve bought quite a few pieces direct from the artist themselves or a reputable gallery. But I have never bought from an auction before.
There are a couple of pieces from heritage auction that don`t specifically state that it comes with a COA. I have inquired further. But these are pieces from the early 2000s that I love.
How vital is it that it comes with the original COA when buying from an auction house such as heritage auction?
Thank you in advance! I`m learning something new everyday.

But depends a little on what youโre buying and the price.
If itโs a Banksy print, then yes, COA.
If itโs a cheapish print from 1xRun, then Iโm not so bothered.

Check all the fees and always ask the shipping price as it can be "very" expensive

Buying from Auction, by dullahmo on May 25, 2022 9:50:19 GMT 1, Thank you guys!
I never thought to ask about a shipping estimate thank you!
It's no a big blue chip such as Banksy, Warhol etc. Which I would defo want a COA for.
It's cheaper but still substantial for my wallet established but not blue chip (e.g. D face) artists.
Thank you guys!

Some artists just don't generally do COAs. Shepard Fairey for example. So it might be there's no COA for that reason too.

Just like Cleon peterson doesnt provide COA too.
I will ask a bit more about provenance, proof of purchases etc as really that`s just as good for me if I`m spending 2-3k.
