Whether you purchase autographed collectibles for fun, profit or both, GrayHawk Memorabilia is absolutely committed to your complete satisfaction. That’s why we guarantee the authenticity of every autographed item we sell.
The signed items we sell come exclusively from paid athlete appearances and from only the top, most reputable suppliers in the business, including Steiner Sports, Mounted Memories, UDA (Upper Deck Authenticated), TriStar Productions, Schwartz Sports and more.
Steiner Sports
Steiner Sports opened its hand-signed memorabilia division in
1992, and since that time has become the top distributor of
authentic sports collectibles by stressing quality and authenticity.
Steiner Sports is the world leader in authentic hand-signed
memorabilia. Steiner Authentication Process:
Witness: Each and every hand-signed collectible
that carries a tamper-proof hologram is witnessed by a Steiner
Sports representative. Once the collectibles have been autographed,
they are cataloged and inventoried.
Affidavit: A notarized affidavit is prepared
and signed by the athlete and a Steiner Sports representative.
The notarized affidavit records the date and location of the
signing and also details the items that were signed by the specified
athlete. This document is then secured within the Steiner Sports
main offices.
Hologram: Each hand-signed collectible
is examined for quality and signature condition. If the collectible
meets the Steiner Sports standard of excellence a tamper-proof
Steiner Sports hologram is affixed to the product.
Certificate: Once the hand-signed collectible
has passed the steps listed above, a Steiner Sports Certificate
of Authenticity is created for the collectible. The collectible
is then sealed and stored within our main office and is not
handled until it is delivered to a sports collectible enthusiast.
Mounted Memories
There are only two ways that
we get the memorabilia that we sell. Some of the items come
through signings that we sponsor, and all the rest are signed
in the presence of our authorized agents. That's why we can
offer an ironclad guarantee assuring the absolute authenticity
of all of our hand-signed memorabilia. And, for your added protection,
each item is accompanied by a certification card verifying its
authenticity. In recognition of our continuing commitment to
integrity, both the National Football League and Major League
Baseball have given us official licenses as distributors of
autographed products. The bottom line is that when you buy from
Mounted Memories, you can rest assured that you've gotten the
real thing.
Upper Deck
Authenticity has been a central theme
to Upper Deck products since the company's inception in 1988.
The company revolutionized trading cards using sophisticated
printing technology to improve the overall quality of products
and adding a trademark hologram that prevented them from being
counterfeited. In 1992, Upper Deck expanded the company's focus
on authenticity to include fine autographed sports memorabilia
backed by a patented five-step authentication process which
guarantees fans are receiving genuine autographs.
The heart
of the five-step process is the company's policy that an Upper
Deck representative must witness each autograph signed by any
one of its stable of high-profile athletes including Tiger Woods,
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Ken Griffey Jr., Peyton Manning,
and Kevin Garnett to name a few.
Today Upper Deck dedicates
more resources than any other sports collectibles and memorabilia
company to ensure the authenticity of its products.
As the popularity
of professional sports has grown over the years, so has the
demand for autographed collectibles. To forgers, public interest
in sports signifies a golden opportunity to make a buck off
unsuspecting fans. Upper Deck recognized the problem and introduced
a solution when he established Upper Deck Authenticated in 1992
and created the first authentication system in the industry.
His mission was to create a source that sports fans could trust
for genuine autographed sports memorabilia.
At the heart of
the company's patented five-step authentication process is the
company's policy that an Upper Deck representative must witness
each autograph signed by any one of the high-profile athletes
with whom it has a relationship. |
