Authenticity Policy for Retail Sales
ALL AUTOGRAPHS ARE GUARANTEED GENUINE FOR THE LIFE OF THE AUTOGRAPH(S). We give 12 months with a two party policy (meaning two separate authentication companies) that must be approved by Albersheim's. The buyer is financially responsible for any and all outside authentication that they choose to seek. After 12 months a merchandise credit can be issued if the autograph is not found to be genuine. With over 25 years of collecting experience in the autograph field and having spent the past 20 years as a dealer of some of the world's rarest and most expensive autographs, Richard Albersheim is considered one of the industry's top autograph authenticators. With so many autographs being sold today that have turned out to be fake, who can you trust? The FBI recently busted a ring of several so-called dealers and confiscated over $100 million dollars in bogus autographed material. Many of these items were sold with certificates of authenticity from so-called forensic experts. Unfortunately, their forensic experience seemed to be in authenticating forged material. Richard Albersheim has authenticated or consulted with some of the world's top auction houses and magazines. This list includes: Lelands, Sportico, Teletrade, and Sweet Spot Magazine. In addition, Richard has written in the past for the nation's leading memorabilia magazines, Sports Collector's Digest and Tuff Stuff Magazine. We will never show favoritism to a dealer or collector. Albersheim always gives an unbiased opinion based on years in the field utilizing and extensive exemplar file, in addition to years of study of paper, inks, and photographic materials. Our authentication fee ranges from $75-150 per item which entitles you to our Letter of Authenticity and a photo of your item. Your Fee also includes return shipping (UPS ground). Quantity discounts will be given at our discretion. If we can not give you a definite answer as to the authenticity of your item, you will only be charged $35 which will cover some of our time and return shipping. We do not authenticate contemporary autographs. |
