ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a collectable article authentication system in which the collectable article is placed in a core. For example, the collectable article can be a comic book. Means for authenticating the collectable article is coupled to the core. The core is received in a cavity of a case. The cavity is formed between a top and bottom. The top and bottom are ultrasonically bonded together. The case is designed to include means for positively indicating sealing of the top to the bottom which means form a visible irreparable condition of the case indicative of tampering. Key slots are formed in the side of the case to allow a purchaser after purchasing the collectable article to insert a tool, such as a screw driver, in order to open the case. After the case is opened, the core layers can be peeled apart for allowing the purchaser to handle the collectable article. It will be appreciated that after the case has been opened, the collectable article is no longer certified as authentic.
