WHERE AND HOW DID I GET MANSON FAMILY RELICS?
The relics were all personally obtained by me in between the years of 1987-2009 at and from each location listed, the Barker and Spahn Ranches in California, where the Manson Family resided back in 1968-1969. Each relic is guaranteed authentic and comes with Certificates of Authenticity each item is hand-signed on bottom and guaranteed authentic for the life of the item by me directly from the Backporch Collections of Michael A. Channels.
DO THE RELICS COME WITH COA ?
Every Manson Family Relic piece comes with certificate of Authenticity as well as an explanation of how relics were acquired. All items were obtained legally and documented as well on those paperwork that come with each item explaining, no damage was caused retrieving these relics for historical purposes and can be resold by buyer legally as well. ( Manson Family properties are now located on State property. Don't ever destroy or cause damage to any area in hopes to obtain any relics without permission of owner it is a crime punishable by imprisonment.)
MY AVAILABILITY TO DO INTERVIEWS?
Want to interview me, have me speak at your organization, invite me to your convention or conference, have me write for your magazine, newspaper, documentary or film/TV project ? I’m generally happy to be interviewed yes, but please don't include the questions with your initial request. I prefer phone interviews because that means I don’t have to do any typing answering the questions. I am more selective about interviews that are more work for me. In-person interviews will require you coming to me or travel expenses if I come to you. Again please message me about the project before sending questions. Please tell me who you are, for whom you are writing the interview, and how you wish to conduct the interview. If you are a journalist on a deadline (i.e. by the end of the work day), you may include questions or a contact number. Interview tips: Generic questions about Helter Skelter and or “Demented” questions rarely are as amusing as you might think they are. Good interviewers questions generally shows good knowledge and come from plenty of research on the subject they are covering.
WHAT IS A COA?
Certificate of Authenticity, (COA) is a document included with autographs and collectibles that proves it is genuine what it says it is and was purchased legally generally has a signer vouch for its authenticity on it. The more information provided on the Certificate of Authenticity the better. The reputation of the person vouching for the item or autograph can be the most important part of the COA.
DO I GIVE PERSONAL TOURS AT SPAHN RANCH?
Availability for personal tours or appearances at Spahn Ranch are upon request and minimum fee. Contact me with request of dates and times you would want me to meet you there and how many people will be with your party. Contact for Availability and prices.
