Charities Beware!!! Counterfeit Autographs are out there!!!

PROTECT YOURSELF - PLEASE WATCH THE ABOVE VIDEO !!!
Charities beware!!!  Why?  Did you hear what they said?  What items are routinely counterfeited?  BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising has been reporting for some time about "What's real & What's not" but its important for you, our Charity Clients, to hear from one of the most reputable Authentication companies that exists - PSA/DNA.
The facts are:
The counterfeiter's are out there and in fact, they have been a part of the Charity Fundraising world for some time. 
Do you want to know why they are in the charity fundraising world?  Because they know that charities and their employees as well as their supporters are not autograph collectors.  They can get away passing fake autographed items without any of the expectations that exist in the Autograph Industry.
You see, in the "Autograph Collector" industry, there are standards which reputable autograph providers live by.   In the Autograph Industry, the standard authenticators are JSA & PSA/DNA.  In fact, Ebay only accepts these two companies authentications to protect their buyers.
 
I have been blogging for several years about the need for 3rd Party Authentication but an even bigger RED FLAG is when one of these companies suddenly partners with an unknown authentication company instead of the STANDARD authentication company mentioned above.  Ask yourself, why wouldn't they use the standard in the autograph industry?
To many times, charities don't look past the "Fluffy" autographed items and concern themselves with the fact that it may or is a counterfeit. 
 
Do you want your guests and supporters bidding on "Fake" items?
 
On another note, a Certificate of Authenticity means absolutely nothing!!!  You read that right...it's meaningless, in fact, the counterfeiters know that.  Anyone can give an opinion that an autograph is real...and especially for the right price.
 
What is important is....who is the company providing the Certificate of Authenticity?  Do you check out who your doctors and contractors are?   
This is a VERY important video to watch....please take a few moments and educate yourself.
BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising provides only 100% authentic autographed items, authenticated by the absolute most reputable Authentication companies - PSA/DNA & JSA.
