From the COA:
"This certificate has been specifically created to insure the authenticity of this artwork and its signature. This limited edition PhotoAnimation lithograph has been licensed by NASCAR® and Dale Earnhardt Inc. under license to Toon Art, Inc. Photos were taken at the signing to further ensure the authenticity of this signed lithograph. This special limited edition image honors NASCAR® great Dale Earnhardt. During his 25-year career, Dale has become the first driver in history to win Rookie of the Year and the series title at the NASCAR® Winston Cup Series level. He was the first three time winner of the Winston Select (1987, 1990, 1993) and three IROC Championships (1990, 1995, 1999). Dale's continuing successes, along with his distinctive racing style, have earned him many honors including the title of "Racer of the Century" at the 2000 ESPY Awards. What is the secret of Dale's success? A top notch pit-crew, of course! This PhotoAnimation lithograph features the original Intimidator, Dale Earnhardt, with an all-star pit-crew in high speed action. He has teamed up with Bugs, Taz, Daffy and the rest of the Looney Tunes to dominate yet another racetrack. The process used to create this final image is called PhotoAnimation, a technique that takes advantage of the latest in digital photography and animation. In this process, after the original negative was selected, it was scanned into a high resolution computer file. Using numerous animation drawings and cartoon character color models, an animator then digitally recreated the Warner Bros. characters interacting in the scene, resulting in a true "work of art." This Toon Art published lithograph, "The Intimidators", is protected by a unique dual authentication process. First, an
8x10 photo of Dale Earnhardt signing the edition is included with each lithograph
. Second, in order to protect the integrity of the product,
a numbered hologram seal is affixed to the art to identify each item sold and includes a second seal with the matching number. This second seal is located at the bottom of each certificate.
Any attempts to remove the hologram seal may destroy the seal and nullify the guarantee of authenticity. This lithograph is number 757 in a total Limited Edition of 2500 pieces with an additional 250 Artist Proofs.
