All authentic Simpsons cels and artwork come with a 20th Century Fox official seal in one of the lower corners. There have been several types of seals used since cels from the Simpsons were released. These different types include: gold plating, holographic sticker, clear sticker, or gold stamped into the cel. Not all seals have a 20th Century Fox number on them. Older Simpsons cels have seals with a logo but no number listed. Simpsons drawings also come with one of the aforementioned seals or a unique 20th Century Fox stamp that is pressed into the drawing paper to represent a seal. Along with a seal, all Simpsons cels and artwork are accompanied with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity). 20th Century Fox has had three different types of COA's for production cels over the years. The first two are exactly the same but the older version was printed on white cardboard and newer version on orange. The third type, which is the most recent COA, has a different design and is printed in full color. Limited Editions and Sericels have unique COAs created for each release. Any artwork that does not contain both a seal and COA are considered non-issued items by 20th Century Fox and not authentic. "Accept no imitations, man!" - Bart |
