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.
#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.
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.

companies) more times than I can even recall. Why is that?
BECAUSE THEY ARE RUNNING!!!
Counterfeit Companies – They do not!!! Why???
Counterfeit Comapanies – They do not
– Why not?
-----
BWUCF Point #5 – We 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.

-----
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.
-----
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
“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.
