Autograph Authentication Services

Certified Authentication Service (CAS) provides professional authentication for autographed items. Our experts carefully examine each signature to verify authenticity and issue official certification. Once a signature is deemed authentic it is assigned an alpha numeric tamper-proof certification sticker and matching documentation trusted by collectors, dealers, and auction houses. We offer multiple certification levels based on item value and quantity of signatures. Online verification is provided so buyers and sellers can confirm authenticity using a certification code. Whether items are submitted by mail, at shows, or through authorized dealers, CAS helps protect collectors by ensuring signatures are genuine and properly documented.
