We know how important it is to our customers to know that the memorabilia they are buying is 100% authentic. We fully understand this & take the authenticity of our items very seriously. Autograph It Now has been involved with the trading & selling of sports, Film, TV & Historical memorabilia since 2006, in these 10 years we have built up trusting relationships with a select few suppliers who conduct private signing sessions, as well as conducting our own private signing sessions with some of the biggest names in sport. We provide Certificate of Authenticities with all of our items, these include a signing photo from the session (where possible), our Office address, AFTAL dealer number & Product Code. An example of one of our certificates can be seen below: Certificate of Authenticity

We have also been a member of the Autograph Fair Trade Association (AFTAL Dealer #017) for the last 10 years, who’s sole purpose is to stamp out the fakes & phonies of the industry & direct customers to legitimate traders of authentic memorabilia. A direct quote from the AFTAL website reads: "Inclusion in AFTAL is proof of each dealer’s commitment and professional competence. The Code of Conduct commits each AFTAL approved dealer to providing authentic items, with all the required knowledge, qualification and diligence that that may demand, and is the best possible proof any collector could have when looking to buy authentic signed memorabilia."

FAQs

Do you sell items with Certificate of Authenticity’s?
Yes, everyone of our items is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity which includes a signing photo, authenticity hologram, product code/name as well as our office details and company director’s details.

What does being a “AFTAL approved Dealer” mean?
The “Autograph Fair Trade Association” ( AFTAL ) was formed by a group of acknowledged autograph dealers, with the intention of stamping out the market in fake items and ensuring that the customer is able to find dealers that they can trust. Inclusion in AFTAL is proof of each dealer’s commitment and professional competence. The Code of Conduct commits each AFTAL approved dealer to providing authentic items, with all the required knowledge, qualification and diligence that that may demand, and is the best possible proof any collector could have when looking to buy authentic signed memorabilia. Simply put, there is no reason as to why any honest dealer should not become an AFTAL approved dealer, but many reasons why some could never become an AFTAL approved dealer.
