About Certificates of Authenticity The ease with which anyone can make a “Certificate of Authenticity” renders them worth no more than the paper they are printed on. While we do not offer hollow documents, we do stand behind the authenticity of our leaves. We are scrupulous in our sourcing, usually salvaging leaves directly from damaged or incomplete Bibles. We never take apart complete books. Rather than a certificate, your purchase will include a description of your leaf. Terms and Conditions All photographs are of the actual item for sale.
