How does a person authenticate an old hockey stick signed by Guy Lafleur? My father a past Kiwanis president got it through a Kiwanis club event. Where & who to go to? Montreal area. Thanks
I have about 9 items autographed by Taylor swift, trying to sell my personal collection but I’m just getting a bunch of nonsense ridiculous questions and makes me think , should I have my stuff authenticated? And how do I price them . I actually have her Debut CD signed in person by her in 2014 , and from that same day have a picture with her she took with my phone at GMA in New York .
Just because they don't authenticate an item does not mean it's fake. They've rejected items I've got signed in person. They simply can't authenticate if they are not sure, they don't declare an item a fake.
I have an 1983 Philadelphia Sixers team signed basketball . I’ve had this since 84 as a gift from my grandfather. He won it at a raffle. No authentication though. I was In first grade in 84. So definitely have an attachment but would love to know the value after having it almost my entire life.
Google and eBay past sales will be your friend on that one. All depends on condition and who’s on it. There’s no set price for anything in the autograph market.
@@PowersSportsMemorabilia "Certificate of Authenticity" literally means nothing. Many people see one of these pieces of paper and think it means something. It doesn't. It's not a legal document, all it means is "According to (insert random autograph dealer), this signature is real." That means that you or I could make our own CoA right now and say that a fake Harrison Ford autograph is real....according to us. And we wouldn't face any repercussions at all. No one can prove if the actor actually signed it, and the actors themselves don't know or care what they've signed in their lifetime. It's even worse for deceased actors. No one can prove a fake Heath Ledger autograph is real, and the actor himself isn't even around to verify them. Just because it looks real, doesn't mean it is. I mentioned earlier that many fake autographs can be identified immediately. Others can't. Some forgers do an amazing job of replicating actors' signatures. Just because your autograph looks similar to ones you saw on Google Images doesn't mean it's real. Some actors' signatures are so short, like just their initials or even just a weird scribble, so it's impossible to identify fakes in those cases. Plus, there's a machine called an autopen that exists where someone can mechanically reproduce an actor's autograph in large volumes pretty flawlessly. Autograph dealers know all of this, and scam thousands of people daily. Think about it, how much does it cost you to print out a picture of an actor, sign a fake signature on it, print out your own "Certificate of Authenticity", and then throw it on eBay and make hundreds of dollars off it? Unfortunately, tons of people are aware of how easy it is to do this and so eBay and autograph stores are flooded with fakes way more than real signatures. The sad thing is: almost all of the fakes end up getting sold. Counterfeit money, clothes, or other products can be identified easily and you can be sued for making them. This isn't the case with autographs. They're easy and cheap to make, and often impossible to prove if real or fake. Worst of all: no one is really aware of this at all. What's the solution? Stop buying autographs online entirely or even from autograph stores just because you trust a guy who works there who claims his sister's husband's friend is a Hollywood agent. Unless you saw it signed in front of you, you'll never know if it's real or not. There are real autographs online, and legitimate businesses hold private signings with actors, but it can be hard to tell what's real and what's not especially if you're a noobie to the hobby. Also, be aware that even if you write a letter to a celeb and get a signed pic in return, it may be a reprint or it may have been signed by a secretary. That really does happen. Plus, you can't always rely on experts or authentication services (like PSA/DNA) because they aren't foolproof either.
I have a "Holiday Halftime" Raiders Album from 1969 that is signed by the whole Raiders roster. Which service should I use? And how would I get something like that appraised to sell?
Do they only authenticate autographs or can they also authenticate that a jersey was game worn? I found an autographed Phil Dawson jersey at a garage sale for a great price so I bought it. I took it out of the frame to make it easier to bring it back to CA on the plane. When I took it out I noticed the tags on the inside were different from any commercial or retail jersey I've ever seen, I'm 99% positive it's an actual field jersey from the construction of it and the tags inside
I have a James Dean I’m scared to send off, it’s real as can be but psa already ran off with a Frank Morgan wizard of oz (they won’t respond to my emails)

The 3 companies mentioned in the video are your best options.
How can I authenticate a autograph on lets say something like eBay how can I get it authenticated before I pay for it?
You can’t but you can psa for a quick opinion.

Probably suggest calling them

Do the authentication companies ever put some kind of notification/warning sticker on an item if the item's signature is determined to be fake?
No
Just because they don't authenticate an item does not mean it's fake. They've rejected items I've got signed in person. They simply can't authenticate if they are not sure, they don't declare an item a fake.
What is the average cost to have your autograph authenticated?
Go their websites….

Would you have to remove a signed jersey from a custom framing or can it be authenticated without removing? Thanks for your help.
Yes remove
Or if you wanna do a LOA, they can take a picture of the item in the frame and place the sticker on the letter
Thanks!

Physically send to them or wait until they come into your area to do a show.

I’m too scared to ship it out ☹️
Can always wait until they come in your area for a show. But you’re item will be just fine…
Is AAA autograph authentication authority reliable?
The main 3 in the video are best. But I always go by what the autograph looks like not the COA.
@@PowersSportsMemorabilia guy selling auto with AAA Certificate with it. The auto looks legit. Not familiar with company tho.

All authentication costs money

Magic johnson signed my jersey last week. I have video and pictures of the entire interaction. How would I go about finding out how much it's worth?
Probably worth more to you than anyone else. eBay
I would N E V E R ship something of high value through the mail. I am not at all convinced I would ever see it again.
Eeehhhh. You’ll be fine.
It’s just opinion nothing good into it 🙄🙄 that’s my opinion I got scam a lot by real companies naming no names when a kobe Bryan was autographed in person by me and they called it fake damn lames
Wow, you wasted our time talking about why someone would want to get an autograph authenticated.
