The term "guarantee real and authentic" can be very misleading in the market for autographs today. This sentence and other as he launched into the market in order autograph as a frisbee in the park. What does this mean? Maybe we should look at what is really authentication. Webster defines "authenticate" as: "to prove authenticity. The key word is evidence. The authenticator must be able to verify that a product is genuine. Must be proven authentic autograph, not supposed to be real, to proven otherwise. As mentioned in previous articles, the subject must be regarded as unauthentic, and the authenticator must find reasons why it is authentic.

Authentication is a scientific opinion on the basis of careful study, research and intuitive knowledge of firsthand experience. Too many times I've seen "dealers and collectors from selling autographs and guarantee of authenticity, without knowing anything about the issue they say is true. Authentication is not a deductive process. "Well, no reason it should be good!" This is the battle cry of the ignorant seller, and is often heard in our area.

When buying autographs from someone, make sure you know who you are dealing. Check for a guarantee of authenticity, then the person who confirms that the guarantee can be supported. Determine what is the basis for authentication. Security is only as good as the person or company who endorses. If you are in bankruptcy next week could be "stuck". Determining the limitations and conditions guarantee, so they say. What is your experience? What training have you taken? We will not get you to believe that there is no place to learn. It is simply not true. There are several programs and courses at university level. It takes time, money, effort and serious commitment to read about the autograph. Many people do want to make that commitment, but he still wants to sell autographs.

Belonging to an organization or autographs in some societies, assessment does not mean someone is qualified in any subject. Some people are implying that to be a member of organization expert. This is another falsehood. Membership in most organizations, is open to all. In addition, anyone can publish a catalog or magazine advertisement and I do not know anything about autographs.

If you buy at auction autographed equipment, review the terms and conditions listed in the catalog. Read all terms and ask questions. What can - discover may surprise you. Many
companies auction does not guarantee not the authenticity of any item sold. In many cases, equipment is sold "as is" without warranty of any kind. It a fairly common practice in the industry. You should be aware of the conditions of sale before the wave number in the auction house. You can be the proprietor of an autograph is not real and have no recourse.

There are a number of qualified dealers of autographs, auction houses and collectors to provide highly professional services, but many are not qualified for
claims on the authenticity, origin, or title. Be a good detective autograph, you must have knowledge of more than just autographs. You must know the market, buyers, sellers, and ethical business practices and the shadow on the ground. With the growing popularity of autographed materials, you can bet that more people become sellers autograph. Most of them are committed to learn. This imposes a heavy burden on the collector. If you ask the right questions you able to differentiate between sellers who know what they do and those who do not.
