BW Unlimited vs. Charity Autograph Counterfeiter’s

I truly believe it’s my duty to educate, inform and protect people from being swindled, lied to or stolen from.  So, here again I am hoping that this blog reaches charities or people across North America who care about the same things I do.

Yesterday, as you will see here, we did yet another autograph signing with Ray Lewis – Legendary NFL and Baltimore Ravens Superhero.   While at the signing, people surrounding him were constantly taking photographs of him and with him including myself.  Not only is he an incredible athlete but he is an absolute icon in the sport.  Oh and btw, we also took video.  We took photos of him signing our items and then asked for a picture with me standing with him in front a Ravens Backdrop.   So, in the photo’s do you not only see Ray Lewis autographing the items but you also see me there.

Now – not only did all of that occur, but there watching Ray sign everything was a representative from James Spence Authentication (JSA).  Each item he signed received a numbered sticker corresponding to a Certificate of Authenticity Card (COA).  I am challenging other providers to at the very least MATCH our level of Authentication!!!  

Along with me, there were many other autograph dealers involved in the signing, all of which were doing the exact same thing – taking pictures and video.  Everyone wanted their picture with Ray.

We feel its vitally important to show our charities just how real we are.  Here’s how:

#1 – We use the #1 Authentication companies in the world – JSA and/or PSA/DNA.

#2 – You know exactly who we are – our names and our pictures are not only listed on our website but also on Facebook, Instagram etc.

#3 – We have and provide photos of the items actually being signed.

Now here is the rub….

For several years, honestly since the beginning of my business, there are only a few other recognizable businesses involved in the charity world as we are.  These two businesses  have been focused on offering extremely “EXCITING” items such as autographed Guitars, Drumheads, cast signed movie posters, autographed photos and now suddenly a few sports items.  I just saw a photo of a “Hall of Fame” autographed helmet.  None, not one of their autographed items are authenticated by JSA or PSA/DNA.  None of them are witnessed in person.

So I examined everything which I am going to show the major differences between our companies, here they are:


BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising (BWUCF) - VS. - Counterfeit Companies


BWUCF Point #1 - We only use the only two Authentication companies which are the standard In the autograph world – JSA & PSA/DNA.


     Counterfeit Companies - They use an absolutely unknown    Authentication company, not accepted by any major autograph dealer or website



----- 


BWUCF Point #2 We carry commonly found items.




      Counterfeit Companies - These two (2) companies are the only   
      companies in the world who have them.  Oddly enough, several
      years ago, one of the managers left and started his own business
      and carries the exact same as the original company but somehow
      suddenly had testimonial letters from charities.  Didn’t anyone
      even look or check?
-----


BWUCF Point #3 – We have never been featured in a News Article, Magazine or TV Show as a Charity Counterfeit autograph item provider. 


Counterfeit Companies -  One of the companies, which both 
      companies carry the exact same items, was TV featured during an  
      investigation into a Counterfeit autographed Guitar – Inside
      Edition. Oddly enough, both companies carry the exact same item.


-----



BWUCF Point #4 - Our companies name has NEVER changed since it was opened.




      Counterfeit Companies – They have changed their names (both
       companies) more times than I can even recall.  Why is that?
       BECAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING!!!


-----

BWUCF Point #5We provide untouched, non photo shopped photo’s of the items actually being autographed and you can find out when it was signed and where through the Certificate of Authenticity.  This is a common used term in the auction or autograph community referred to as "Provenance."  The definition is this:


Provenance:  The place of origin or earliest known history of something.  The beginning of something's existence; somethings origin.  A record of ownership of a work, used as a guide to authenticity or quality. 



      Counterfeit Companies – They do not!!!  Why???  




-----

BWUCF Point #6 - We publicize who we are, our names and pictures.




Counterfeit Companies - They do not – Who are they?





-----


BWUCF Point #7 – We have many photo’s of us standing with Athletes and Celebrities which we are doing or have done autograph signings with.



      Counterfeit Comapanies – They do not – Why not?



-----

BWUCF Point #8 – We offer items which other Retail Companies offer across the United State and can be found all over the internet at much higher prices.



Counterfeit Companies - They are the only two companies that    
      offer these items.  Why are they the only ones be found all over the
      internet at Autographs when that is not how the true autograph
      industry works.  If you do find a true authenticated item which
      they carry, that has been authenticated by a real authentication
      company, its ridiculously much higher priced.  And don’t believe
                                the “Because its for Charity” hype.

-----

BWUCF Point #9 – We worked with Gene Simmons alone for 3 years.  Gene would charge us $2,000.00 for a guitar which only he provides and only he signs.  Gene absolutely refuses to sign with the rest of the band KISS – which
                                by the way, he owns.

      Counterfeit Companies – Why do they        have KISS band signed guitars when    
       Gene refuses to sign with anyone else? 
       Why is the guitar not the guitar that
       Gene will only sign?  It’s his “Axe
       Bass” which he sells himself. 

----- 


BWUCF Point #10 – If you scour the internet, you will not find one (1) bad comment or remark about us or our items.




     Counterfeit Companies - If you scour the internet, especially  
      “Autograph Magazine Live”, you will be amazed at what you
      find.  Do it, go there, I beg you.



---------

Seriously – do you see the major differences?  BW only provides authentic autographs.  We beg charities to look and be well informed. 

Charities must educate themselves before accepting items from any provider, including us – BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising.

BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising is a North American Charity Fundraising leader in a “One Stop Shop” convenient setting.  Every single autographed item BW Unlimited carries comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from JSA or PSA/DNA.
