Each certificate of authenticity shall:\n (a) describe the collectible and the name of the sports personality\nwho signed it; and\n (i) specify the purchase price and date of sale; or\n (ii) be accompanied by a separate invoice that specifies the purchase\nprice and date of sale;\n (b) contain an express warranty, which shall be presumed to be part of\nthe basis of the bargain, of the authenticity of the autographed\ncollectible. Such warranty shall not be negated or limited because the\ndealer or the supplier in the certificate does not use formal words such\nas "warranty", or "guarantee", or because such dealer or supplier does\nnot have a specific intention or authorization to make a warranty or\nbecause any statement relevant to the autographed collectible is, or\npurports to be, or is capable of being, merely the dealer's or the\nsupplier's opinion; and\n (c) unless such information appears in legible fashion on the\ncollectible itself, specify whether the collectible is offered as one of\na limited edition and, if so:\n (i) how the collectible and the edition are numbered, and\n (ii) the size of the edition and the size of any prior or anticipated\nfuture edition, if any. If the size of any prior or anticipated future\nedition is not known, the certificate shall contain an explicit\nstatement to that effect.\n 2. If a dealer offers collectibles at auction, the requirement for a\ncertificate of authenticity may be met if the dealer at the time of\nsale:\n (a) provides the buyer a catalog which (i) is available to the public,\n(ii) contains a picture and description of the collectible, and (iii)\ncontains a warranty and information which meet the requirements of\nparagraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision one of this section; and\n (b) provides a separate invoice that specifies the purchase price and\ndate of sale.\n The dealer shall be required to maintain a copy of such catalog and\ninformation regarding the sale of items described therein for a period\nof five years following the year of such sale.\n 3.
