We provide expert authentication through a rigorous three-stage verification system. By combining the deep knowledge of our specialists with proprietary technology and exclusive internal protocols, we ensure every item is vetted with unmatched accuracy.
Our Professional Authentication Process
Ensuring the legitimacy of your collectibles requires more than a passing glance. Authentication involves a rigorous, multi-step process where our experts scrutinize every physical item and signature from every angle to guarantee 100% accuracy.
How We Verify Authenticity:
Forensic Evaluation: We begin with a microscopic examination of the media and ink to ensure chronological consistency.
In-Depth Analysis: Next, we perform a detailed study of writing patterns, stroke pressure, and character formations.
Comparative Matching: Finally, we conduct a precise side-by-side comparison against our extensive database of known authentic examples.
Autograph Verification
Every certified autograph is fully documented to ensure its authenticity can be publicly confirmed at any time. Furthermore, you can instantly verify your item by visiting the Verify Cert page on our website or by using our dedicated mobile app for quick, on-the-go tracking.
Encapsulation
Once the authentication and grading process is complete, our specialists sonically seal your item inside a heavy-duty protective holder. Following this, the casing is finished with a secure, tamper-evident label that prominently displays the unique certification number and all relevant grading details. Visit Our Holders page for more information.
Disclaimer Regarding Turnaround Times: The inclusion of Autograph Authentication or Grading for any submitted card is an additional service that is processed separately from the standard card grading. Consequently, we do not guarantee any posted turnaround times for submissions that utilize this service, as extra processing time may be required.
