Our overriding objective at Sports Gallery is to be the best in our business.

To accomplish this, our reputation and credibility with our suppliers, partners and, most important, customers MUST be without question.
And we realize the most important part
of our reputation is the authenticity
of the autographs we sell.
Our customers must be able to purchase
our merchandise with the utmost confidence
that the collectible they are taking home
is authentic.

 

Frankly, the future of our company
depends on it.

As such, we are dedicated to the
authenticity of our collectibles.
We promise our customers to be thorough and diligent in our efforts to obtain genuine and authentic autographed memorabilia.

Here are just some of the precautions we take to ensure the authenticity of our merchandise:

  • We trypically work with nationally recognized and reputable sources that, in most cases, have the athletes or entertainers under direct contract.

  • We often work directly with the athletes and/or their agents to arrange for witnessed, public and private signings with athletes. Our most recent/upcoming autograph sessions include:
  • We actively attend/partner with other signings to personally obtain signatures and/or witness the autograph session whenever possible.

  • We DO NOT purchase any of our items from individual collectors without proper, nationally recognized authentication.

    "Buyer beware."

    "You get what you pay for."

    "If it's too good to be true...
    ...it probably is."

    All the typical consumer warnings apply to buying collectibles from individuals on e-bay, personal collections and many sports collectible retailers. At Sports Gallery we're committed to taking those concerns out of the equation so you can have confidence in the authenticity of the high-quality collectible you're purchasing.

    If you are considering buying a collectible from another dealer,
    do this Authenticity Test first.
    Ask them if they'll buy a signed collectible from your private collection. If they even consider it without proper authentication from a paid professional, be very concerned about the origins of the collectible you are considering buying. Who knows what private collection that collectible came from...

At Sports Gallery, our answer would be NO.
Not because we don't like you
and value you as a potential customer,
but because we wouldn't be able to verify
the collectible's authenticity to the extent necessary to satisfy our stringent
authenticity safeguards. We could definitely
get items cheaper if we said yes (many dealers do) but the ultimate cost would be our reputation for authenticity and that is a price we are not willing to pay.

And while our methods of authenticity are not the least expensive, they do ensure the best "safeguards" we can provide.
Safeguards that guarantee that a buyer
of our collectibles is receiving
the benefit of our total commitment to authenticity. In fact, we're so confident
in our merchandise, that we will
accept the return of any item
within 30 days of purchase
when the authenticity
is refuted by a reputable source.

Authenticity is our key to success.

More importantly, it is your guarantee
of our commitment to you,
our customer.
