Originally they had a black border with a black and white image. As time progressed, a few certificates appeared bearing color in some form. Initially one color images (mainly red) appeared and eventually multi-color images appeared. Commentators on the subject generally blame high cost as the reason to avoid color when designing a certificate. Color may be used when the financial officer in charge has a particular interest in the certificates, when the firm has a lot of color associations, or when when marketing to the public was of a particular concern. In any event, certificates bearing colorful are hard to find, and building a collectionof these items will not a be a rapid process. The scanner clips images larger than a standard size sheet of stationery. Be assured that all certificates are complete and undamaged. Certificates are guaranteed original.
