Whether you’re considering a purchase or looking to validate a prized piece from your collection, Superstar Guitars Auctions offers expert autograph authentication and appraisal services tailored specifically to music-related items. Backed by decades of experience and an extensive in-person autograph database, we provide collectors, dealers, and enthusiasts with trusted opinions and industry-recognized documentation.
1. QUICK AUTHENTICATION OPINION (ONLINE EVALUATION)
Get a fast, expert opinion before you buy.
If you’re interested in bidding on or purchasing a signed item from another seller, we can help you make an informed decision.
HOW IT WORKS:
– Send us a link to the item you’re considering.
– Our team will compare the signature(s) using our proprietary database and expertise.
– You’ll receive an email response with one of two opinions:
– Likely Authentic – We Recommend Purchasing
– Would Not Recommend
Note: No Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included with this service.
If the item is later confirmed as authentic and you’d like to obtain a COA from us, we will apply the fee from this review toward the full authentication service.
2. FULL AUTHENTICATION INC. COA AND HOLOGRAM
Verify and protect the value of your collectible.
For items already in your possession, we offer a comprehensive authentication service, including certification and secure documentation.
STEPS:
– Email us a high-resolution scan or clear photograph of your item.
– In some cases, we may require a physical examination of the item. If needed, we’ll advise on the safest shipping method.
– Our experts will evaluate the signature using:
– Our private autograph database
– Known authentic exemplars
– Contextual research and signing history
– Third-party reference tools, if applicable
IF THE ITEM IS DEEMED AUTHENTIC, YOU WILL RECEIVE
– A Certificate of Authenticity (COA)
– A tamper-proof, uniquely numbered hologram
– Digital confirmation and documentation for your records
NOTE: Already paid for the online opinion? That fee will be deducted from your total when upgrading to a full COA service.
3. APPRAISAL SERVICES FOR INSURANCE, ESTATE OR RE-SALE VALUE
Authentication is just the beginning. For those wishing to protect, insure, or eventually sell their autographed memorabilia, a professional appraisal is a smart investment.
WHY GET YOUR ITEMS APPRAISED?
– To establish fair market value for resale
– For insurance claims or estate planning
– To provide documented proof of value for future generations
– To assure potential buyers of authenticity and value
All appraisals include detailed documentation of the item’s value, condition, and provenance, along with our official seal and credentials.
