Keep up the good work. Watching in 2024.

It will be good to know what to do in case you loose the authentication card or letter. Where to go, prices, website or contact information of where the issue can be solve. Also how to tell if the sticker, letter or card is real, what to look for etc

[@zacharybellesen6568]

I would like to have the pros and cons of certain types of pens on certain items like why is ball point used on baseballs and sharpies/paint pens on pictures and gear. What colours work best and can the type of instrument used change the value of the item

[@junito1008]

I NEED SOME HELP !! I have a game used baseball that was signed by Pedro Martinez, Ricky Henderson, Tom Glavine, Dentrell Willis, José Reyes, Carlos Delgado, David Wright…which company do you recommend me to authenticate this baseball?? And how to do it??

Did you guys send the shaq shoe to KOT4Q

Yes!

Not that one, but one of his signed shoes

How do you verify the authenticity of an item that just has a cheesy little hologram that says OK authentic’s and has no numbering or anything how do you verify the authenticity of that item?

[@Edgar-hh6zd]

I have an item with steiner sports but only has a hologram sticker i looked online and it says that back then they did not use serial # . How do i know if its real? Same goes with my mounted memories item. Both signed items but only has a hologram sticker

[@scottpurchase6349]

Can you explain breaks or winning breaks? I’m new to collecting.

[@jerardogarcia3985]

What do i look for in card collecting? just both a big lot of cards

[@shawnburkhalter9183]

I have a few items I need authenticated. Who do you recommend me contacting? Joe Montana jersey, Tiger Woods autographed picture frame about 3-4 feet wide with Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicholas in it. The certificates were missing on those 2 out of 36 items I won in an auction. The previous owner has passed and I know they’re legit. Thanks! Love Pristine!

[@PRISTINEAuction1]

If you are looking to authenticate them and sell them, we have a process for that and can take care of it for you (at discounted rates) - pleased contact us to [e-mail] - if you are just looking to get the items authenticated and hang onto them we recommend JSA, PSA or Beckett.

[@lancehanley2730]

How do I know something form you is authentic if I can't look up the item number ??

[@pa8157]

Hi Jared I have some team shoes and a team equipment Bag given to me by a professional.. How do I get them authenticated??

[@jeezyyj3784]

Any information on a company called LF sports memorabilia?

[@thomasschaefer8074]

I buy alot of steelers signed merchandise from you guys. And its tse certified stickered and all but tse doesn't give serial numbers. Should I be voncerned? Hope i get a response from you

[@Nikolaosjohn]

Wanting to buy from your site. I’ve seen the same Beckett authentication sticker on more than one item on your site (I.e Multiple Julian Edelman Jerseys). Do they use the same number if all the jerseys were signed at same time and place or are the pictures just the same number?

[@kingrahul8884]

I have a question. When is going to be your guys next giveaway livestream because I want to get things from pristine auction but I just don’t have the money for it!

[@zac0106]

[@TheAIPromptWizard]

If i buy an orginanl shirt from let's say the Barcelona store and then get it Signed by a player like Messi , does it count as an Memorabilia item and can it get sold for big bucks?

[@ounbin7414]

That's coming soon!

[@matt-xe5km]

how about authenticating not autographs. I want to authenticate that these hockey gloves I have were actually game used by Eric lindros.

[@petera2120]

Great video. How come the fanatics COA QR code doesn't work when you scan similar to Beckett QR code?

[@PRISTINEAuction1]

there are some authentic Fanatics stickers out there that don't have a scannable QR code but are authentic. We aren't certain why but it was likely a short period 'oops' in the production of their holograms.

[@PRISTINEAuction1]

the Fanatics QR code scan brings you to a google search with the code entered rather than to their database. We're not certain why they set them up that way - hopefully in the future they will have that redirect directly to their database.

[@theoneandonlyjmac]

I am going to an event in October were I will be getting 2 Funko Pops signed by Sting. If there is nobody there for authentication purposes what do I need to do to get them authenticated? Will taking a picture of him signing them be enough, or do I need to have something else? Just wondering in case I have to send them in for authentication. Not sure if someone will be there for authentication. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.👍🏼

[@PRISTINEAuction1]

A picture will do if you're just keeping it for yourself, but if you ever plan to sell it you should get it authenticated with a reputable authentication company. The show may have an in-house authentication service though. Let us know if this helps

[@wadehorne]

good job.

Can you authenticate my New York Giants Mitchell and Ness jacket

[@MYLES_JAE]

Can you explain how to verify my phone number it’s not working for me

[@cheapandevilgirl]

list it here. there is a free service that can help.

[@houckch]

Is there such thing as pre authentication? For example, can I send a picture of the item to determine if it looks like the real deal? Just trying to avoid paying fees only to find out that its not authentic. I've inherited some memorabilia that I want authenticated, kinda worried that some may not be the real thing

[@PRISTINEAuction1]

Beckett authentication does a " quick opinion" it does cost money though but its on the cheaper side.

[@mathieugendron-methot4994]

I just bought a f1 brake rotor. Who do you think could make the authentification? :)

[@slimsherman5818]

I have a LeBron card from 2003 upper deck, which by itself is only about a $10 dollar card, but is Autographed. Are JSA services less than PSA. I wouldn't want to spend too much on it it the signature isn't real. Very informative video, appreciate any feedback

Hi there! We recommend companies like JSA, PSA or Beckett for authentication 👍

[@zengarden8592]

@@PRISTINEAuction1 sweet. Thank you. Also, do you guys auction off stuff like this, after it is authenticated? I wonder what something like this would be worth? Would your company have expertise on this?

[@sheldonbond7572]

I’m starting on collecting and I’m becoming more aware of authentic items and want to be careful. I stumbled upon Fanatics Authentic, after watching the video..I’m assuming this website is legit?

[@thegoat164]

Fanatics Authentic is legit, Fanatics Authentic offers a LIFETIME authenticity guarantee and attaches a tamper evident hologram to every product. Every Fanatics Authentic hologram sticker is individually serialized and can be verified online via a massive database.

[@Daniel_B_23]

Beckett has went just to sticker.

Is D.C. sport collectibles legit ?

[@tod3msn]

Be careful buying sports memorabilia. Best way is to have the athlete sign it in front of you.
