RPA Authentication:
As a collector and enthusiast of sports autographs, I have created a way to guarantee
signatures that I sell. Through my method and this website, I am able to guarantee all of the unauthenticated signatures
that I sell for my buyers. I have compiled a library of pre-authenticated signatures to use as my reference when buying
and selling signatures. The quantity of signatures in my library exceeds 20,000 examplars. I've always had and interest in
signatures and have been studying them for the past 5 years while buying and selling. By compiling the library, I am able
to identify if a signature is authentic or not authentic. I will only issue LOA's with items that I'm 100% sure of
being genuine and authentic. Details
on individual features of my authentication are listed below:
Features of the RPA Authentication:
Money
Back Guarantee: The money back guarantee that I offer is for the life of the collectible.
The guaranteed value will be the price that the item sold for. The money back guarantee is a no-questions asked refund. The
item must be deemed unauthentic by GAI, JSA and PSA/DNA for the money back guarantee to be issued.
The cost of the guarantee is 1% of the value. For
example, if you submit a Michael Jordan signed magazine and state the value at $200, you will have to pay a $2.00 fee (along
with the $10.00 Letter of Authenticity fee).
** We
will be adding a page with example "Fair Market Values" in the near future.
Signature Stickers: Each LOA include a authenticating
signature sticker on the image of the signature item. This sticker is tamper-proof and if removed, the sticker will damage
the image on the LOA.
Signature Sticker:
Database Look Up: The serial number
on the LOA will enable collectors to look up their item on my website to verify the items authenticity, guarantee
value and item description. Items of value over $250 will include a photo link. Your LOA will be accompanied by
all of our contact information and how to look your item up.
Two forms
of Certification:
Letter of Authenticity:
Every Letter of Authenticity that we issue will look like the example below.
Features of RPA's
LOA:
1.) Description
of the item including: Subject (Player), Sport, Description (of item), Guaranteed to pass, Serial Number, Signature Grade,
Ink Type, Ink Color, Guaranteed Value, Date.
2.)
Guaranteed to pass: This feature details which company I guarantee the item to pass (if you choice to further authenticate
the item).
3.) Signature Sticker: Alot
of companies place stickers on the actual collectible that is being authenticated - I believe this takes away from the item.
We never place any sticker or hologram on the actual item. Since all items will come with a LOA, the picture serves
as a record. Signature Stickers will be placed on the image of the item on the LOA.
4.)
Your GUARANTEED VALUE as well as my signature will be covered by a tamper-proof sticker.
