FAQ
Q: What is the yellow card in the photos, and which card do I receive?
A: The yellow card is the Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association's authentication receipt, issued on the spot once a piece is judged genuine; the formal certificate is collected on the Thursday of the following week. This piece's yellow card is No. 00454, with Luang Phor Tae's abbreviated name (ลพ.เต๋) handwritten in the name field, marked "แท้" (genuine), with the "มีซ่อม" (repaired) box left blank, dated 8 September B.E. 2569 (2026). The buyer receives the association's formal certificate.
Q: Is the case solid gold?
A: The supplier states that it is. The association authenticates the amulet only, not the case, and we have not tested it separately, so please treat this as the supplier's description.
Q: Does the certificate state "first batch"?
A: No. The yellow card records the amulet name, authenticity and repairs only; "B.E. 2503 first batch" is the supplier's listing.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: Shop owners, traders and salespeople, anyone hoping for more customers and goodwill, and collectors of old Nakhon Pathom amulets and Luang Phor Tae's work.
Q: Why do I request first and pay later?
A: This piece is held by a partner supplier rather than in our Bangkok stock. So that nobody pays for a piece that has already gone, we confirm with the supplier first and reply by email within 24 hours. If it is available, the email includes a payment link valid for 24 hours. Submitting a request costs nothing.
