Authenticity is everything

A1 Sporting Memorabilia recognises that authenticity is of paramount importance when purchasing signed memorabilia. Every product we sell is from an organised signing session, where the authenticity of the item is guaranteed. If we are unable to arrange an organised signing session with a sporting superstar, then signed items from that individual will not be available from us. We will only ever sell original signatures to our customers - we will never sell copies, facsimiles or reproductions of original signatures.

Certificate of Authenticity

Every signed product is issued with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by our Managing Director, which guarantees that every item has been hand-signed. The certificate includes many security features to avoid duplication and protect your investment.

Security Features

1. Quality of printing & paper

The printed lines and colours of the many intricate patterns on our Certificate of Authenticity are sharp, clear and free of smudges or blurred edges. The paper is high quality, textured and of a heavier weight than normal paper.

2. Integrated image

Each Certificate of Authenticity also includes either an example image of the product or a small photo of the individual signing the product.

*Images are for illustration purposes only and the product/signature location & size my differ slightly.

3. Hologram seal

A security bespoke A1 Sporting Memorabilia hologram seal that shimmers and animates when tilted is included on every Certificate of Authenticity.

4. Online verification

The name and authentication code of every item is printed onto every Certificate of Authenticity. By entering the authentication code into the A1 Sporting Memorabilia website you will be able to view more detailed images of the signed item, a detailed description and if available photos of the individual signing the item.

5. Signed by Managing Director

Every single Certificate of Authenticity is also signed by Terry Baker or Freda H. Baker - the directors of A1 Sporting Memorabilia to guarantee that the item is genuine and hand signed.

A1 Signing Sessions

We have conducted hundreds of signing sessions with legends from the sporting world including Pele, Frank Bruno, Shane Warne and Martin Johnson. We have exclusive memorabilia contracts with Sir Geoff Hurst and Jimmy Greaves - both of whom are shareholders in A1 Sporting Memorabilia - Martin Peters, Gordon Banks, Sir Henry Cooper and many others.

A1 Sporting Memorabilia is also the sole supplier of all official authenticated merchandise bearing Pele's signature, having recently signed an exclusive four-year deal with the legend.
