Bill of Sale

Connecticut

I am looking to buy and would not want to be subject to scam. Bill of Sale with regards to collectible trading cards. I am looking to buy a collection of Magic: The Gathering cards and I am wondering the course of action using a Bill of Sale. I want to ensure the other peer is not listing a falsely advertised collection and that the cards are not counterfeit and in the case they are not as advertised or not real, what protections do I have as the buyer?

I want to photograph Jack Kerouacs grave in Lowell MA. I plan to photograph it every day for a year and have a show and book produced. Are there issues with copyright of the grave site? Are there issues with the City of Lowell? Are there issues with the Kerouac estate?

I suggest you get a release from both the estate of Jack Kerouac and the City of Lowell.
