Authentication

A1 Sporting Memorabilia no longer offers an online authentication service. We are unable to verify items bought from third parties or private sellers.

Items bought directly from us

Every item we sell is supplied with an A1 Certificate of Authenticity and is covered by our guarantee. If you bought your item from us and have a question about it, please contact our customer service team with your order number.

Buying from private sellers

Take care when buying signed memorabilia privately or through third-party marketplaces and auction sites. A certificate on its own is not proof of authenticity. Before you buy, we would always suggest you:

  • Ask the seller where and when the item was obtained
  • Ask for the original purchase receipt or proof of provenance
  • Be cautious of prices significantly below the market rate
  • Buy from established dealers wherever possible
