AstrosJake Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I got this autographed Snakes & Arrows lithograph for Christmas! It came with a COA from SRO/Anthem Records stating that it is legitimate. But what strikes me as weird is that the COA is a 1. a print-out and 2. not hand-signed. My dad bought it off eBay back in November. Supposedly the lithograph was given by Anthem Records to someone named Jeff Burrows to sell as a charity auction towards the St. Clair's Foundation in Windsor, Ontario. There's very little information out there on these lithographs, and I cannot really find many other autographed ones. The only other signed lithos I can find were also sold on eBay by the same seller. I emailed SRO/Anthem to see if they can verify its authenticity. The autographs definitely look real, I guess I'm just being paranoid because of the COA. I collect sports memorabilia, and I've never received a COA like this one. Anyone know anything about these?? Thank you! http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/z/bSQAAOSwYshUZUFL/$_57.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 90 percent of Rush autographs that I've seen on ebay are fakes COAs ot not. Those certificates are easy to make up and most of the time you still can't track where they came from. I'm no expert so don't just take my word, but the story seems legit to me too. But if I were you, I'd check it out anyway. Oh...and I have one of those myself but it isn't numbered or signed. Actually, I don't think I even got the litho....just the poster that came with the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yeah you're doing the right thing. Contacting Anthem is the best way to find out for sure. I agree the signatures look authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a handful of other lithos like this that are also numbered /500, some from S&A, Feedback, and 2112.

I never bothered to buy the numbered litho (Didn't like that particular art enough.) but I have a poster that is similar. I'm curious to hear what they have to say too.

Syrinx Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 These lithographs were issued as shown and are legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstrosJake Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 You know about the autographed ones too? It seems like only a few of them were signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 No they did a run, just like previously with the 2112 litho and I believe a Power Windows one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstrosJake Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Anthem records never responded. I resent the email a couple nights ago and also messaged the seller on eBay. It's really weird. The COA is a photo copy of another one that was sent out with another autographed litho that the seller had. Any ideas of what to do? My parents already spent $400 on the poster and $200 to frame it, so I'd feel bad even bringing this up to them. But I'm legitimately worried.

AstrosJake Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 I was worried because the COA is a piece of crap. There would be no way to tell if it was faked. The guy made a photo-copy of his other COA and assigned it to this one. Anyways, Anthem responded. Of course it is legit, and he's sending me a more formal COA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an awesome thing for them to do. In most cases those certificates don't mean a thing unless they come from a trusted source which Anthem obviously is....They'd probably be the only ones I would trust for those certificates.

Huskerspheres Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yes, it's legit. I have one, but don't have a COA from anyone. I won mine at the Rushcon auction a few years ago and it was donated by Anthem. I probably should get something in writing, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Sorry I didn't see this earlier because I could have helped ease your nerves a bit.Jeff Burrows is the drummer from The Tea Party (an Anthem band) and is good friends with the RUSH fellows.I've run into Jeff at several shows over the years. Since the auction in question was in his name for charity I am 100% certain the item in question is legit (as Anthem confirmed for you).
