Sports Memorabilia is a term generally used to describe either an item signed by an athlete, or an item that has some sort of historical significance such as a game-used item, a memento from a sporting event, or a vintage piece of equipment from days gone by.
About Memorabilia Authentication |
A wide range of authenticity services has evolved in response to the growing demand for sports memorabilia authentication.
Each memorabilia authentication service typically provides its own unique proof of authentication - often called a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) for each item that they authenticate. However, just because an item comes with a COA does not mean that item is actually real. A COA is only as credible as the party it is written by. Common sense suggests that savvy buyers check to make sure that both the eBay seller and authenticating party (best if they are different parties) both have experience and credible track records.
