Can this be looked at ? Thanks

Without a clear, readable photo of the creed and serial number, it can't be accurately authenticated, not by me and certainly not by "Authent*cate F*rst" either, unless the bag was actually in their possession and they could see and read the creed and number. If that was the case, they should have included a photo of those details on the "COA".

You could try contacting Goodwill to ask for a readable photo. They should know by now what kind of details are needed to assure their buyers of an item's authenticity.
I think I'd heard that with that company's COAs, if you scan the QR code, it takes you to a site in which you can see further images.

I don't go to unknown QR code sites and won't ever scan that code so pictures that aren't viewable in listings should be shown.

I don't blame you. And a lot of us also feel that the less personal information we reveal on the internet about ourselves through things like scans and apps and smartphones and "sign into this site through ... (name the worst privacy-sucking sites here)..." the safer we'll be.
 
Dear authenticators,

I am looking to buy this from a friend. It looks ok to me but then I bought a fake one before so just want to be sure.

Expert opinion on this one? Please and thank you! There's no creed. I bought this at a local thrift store. Measures 8.5 inches across by 8.5 inches tall. About 1.5 inches across the bottom. Strap is about 42 inches.
