Collectibles - Autograph Verification
The Internet can be a valuable tool when you are looking for collectibles and autographed items; however it has brought problems to the table search such as traders trying to sell fake autographed items.
A lot of sellers advertise non-authentic autographs, because it is easy to trick someone who does not know a lot about the industry or are buying for the first time. The buyers believe that the autographed collectibles are authentic because they do not realize how to spot a fake.
In order to reassure clients that the collectibles they are buying are authentic, some sellers will provide a personal certificate of authenticity and an approval warranty with purchase. Other sellers will emboss the items with holograms to ensure authenticity and to establish a good reputation with their clients.
Most of the buyers are not keen enough to be able to distinguish a real autograph from a forgery. Also, it sometimes is the case that the pictures you see or the autographs you have been given have been scanned, or are unclear.
Positive feedback left for a seller online does not necessarily mean that they are reputable and sell authentic products. Sellers that provide speedy shipping and good customer service may receive positive comments on the Web but despite good reviews, they may not sell genuine products. In fact, many sellers have been charged with selling fake autographs and collectibles (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com) despite having excellent feedback and these positive comments are not always removed even after the trader has been found guilty of fraud.
One of the problems with shopping for collectibles online is that it is often difficult for potential clients to know for sure if an autograph is authentic. Sometimes, collectors do not find out that the signed piece is counterfeit until after they've already purchased it and test it for genuineness or speak to a knowledgeable collector or an authority on the subject.
