* All books, manuscripts, and correspondence, as well as any ephemera not related to sports or entertainment media, are now categorically excluded from the regulation of “Autographed collectibles” under California’s autograph law.
* Antiquarian booksellers who deal in the kind of autographed collectibles in the state of California that still fall under the law may now provide an “Express Warranty” guaranteeing the item as authentic, rather than a Certificate of Authenticity. That warranty may be incorporated into an invoice rather than being a separate document, and the requirement to disclose from whom the autographed collectible was purchased has been eliminated.
* Civil penalties incurred by those subject to the law who fail to comply have been lowered.
*“The definition of a 'collectible' to mean any autographed item sold or offered in the categories of sports or entertainment related to music, television, or film.
*“The definition of a 'dealer' to mean a person or business who is in the trade of selling collectibles and has sold three or more collectibles in a 12-month period.”
This amendment came about after a California bookstore filed a civil rights lawsuit that claimed the law would restrict the speech and earning potential of authors by imposing unreasonable burdens on book sellers. Unfortunately it was another slow TTM week for us with an empty mailbox so that's it for this week. Have a great graphing weekend and I'll be back next week with more TTM autographs and address's.
