Fraud Examination

Our Fraud Examination service extends the scope of our authentication offerings. As Certified Fraud Examiners, we conduct thorough assessments of your items or documents. The sports memorabilia market faces significant challenges with counterfeits, with some estimates suggesting that 85–90% of the market is fraudulent. Our mission is to combat fakes and fraud within the hobby and the broader market. By working to reduce fraud, we strive to preserve the integrity of both memorabilia and any handwritten document or item, ensuring that collectors and enthusiasts can trust the authenticity of their acquisitions.
