COA is certificate of authenticity. I came out of sport cards etc hobby. That took over there and was 95% fraud, huge FBI sting.
That WILL NOT be the same for snakes as I see it.
As for the hybrids, I guess I meant to say MAY, rarely use will or shall, ex cop thing.
Ok, if there is a question in someone's mind on the lineage of a snake, they will want a way to prove it (as best they can). That may promote the record keeping of the snakes lineage by third parties.
It just may become, in time, a way to validate the correctness of what a snake is or what it is claimed to be. That system of record keeping by a third party I personal DO NOT want to see BECOME a way to justify what a snake is.
Maybe it's just me Kathy? I collected coins, and grading killed that hobby. I once collected sports memorabilia. And there were 3 very very reputable grading companies. But then collectors with mass collections started their own grading companies. It is a joke there now.
I am NOT saying this is what's going on in the "herps hobby" (I really need a better term) now. Nor do I think anyone has that intention.
I see a relatively new "hobby" and people use their backgrounds to come up with new inventive ideas to use, and I love that.
I just see the "possibility" of a connection of tracking used for lineage verification.
I truly did not mean to cross anyone? Like I said, 2 hobbies killed, and cops look for that type of stuff. It's out nature I guess.
Sorry if I offended anyone? It's just 1 old mans opinion.
thanks
