How do you prove authenticity?

Hello again =) I was just wondering, when you are selling autographs for an auction, how do you prove that they are authentic? I mean, if you know they are authentic, how do you prove it? xD

Hi Nammzi

Thanks for posting

Basically, if you are collecting for charity then most celebs/agents will send you a letter with an autograph. This then becomes your proof of authenticity.

It is not worth producing your own certificates as most of the time buyers are rightly sceptical of "C.O.A's" a genuine letter from the celebrity or their agent does wonders for proving authenticity

Also, always keep the envelope you receive the auto in. Collectors usually want these when they buy autos from you

Hope this helps!

Okay ^_^ Thank you very much =) I will hopwfully begin sending later this neek or early next, as I have written to my charity and I am waiting for a reply

No problem

I can also be worthwhile asking for a brief covering note from them if possible to confirm authenticity.

The worst they can do is NOT send one

Good luck!
