Sports Memorabilia items are the most popular of signed and unsigned collectables, but also the most faked! It is estimated that on some internet auction sites, fake items account for around 80% of those listed, so it is essential that collectors buy only from the better known established sports memorabilia dealers. CollectorApproved.com only list dealers that have been suggested by you the collector and then verified by our team here, so that you can be as certain as you can be that what you are buying is as authentic as possible.

Many of the signed items available today will have been signed at arranged signings with the sports personality. This ensures that what you buy is 100% authentic and its provenance easily checked. Many of the rarer or more difficult to obtain signatures such as Muhammad Ali for instance, will most likely have been obtained in person by a collector and these will have passed through several hands before being found by a dealer. But most signatures are very well documented and easily authenticated by a specialist.
