Items signed by VIPs: why is authenticity certification essential?

A photo signed by a famous actor, a vinyl autographed by a legendary musician, a jersey signed by a sports star... The objects signed by personalities are much more than mere souvenirs: they become coveted collector’s items.

But in the face of the rise of fakes and imitated signatures, how to guarantee the authenticity of these objects? The answer is simple: the certificate of authenticity.

🖋️ The signature, an issue of trust
An authentic dedication can multiply the value of an object. But for the buyer, it is impossible to rely solely on a handwritten signature. Without a certificate, the suspicion remains: is it a real signature? Was it affixed by hand? Has the object not been altered?

👉 The certificate of authenticity is the written proof that the object is what it claims to be.

📄 What should a good certificate contain for signed object?
A description of the object (type, material, support...)
Precise information on the signatory person
Photos of the signature
The circumstances of the signing (date, place, context if known)
A declaration of authenticity from the seller
Legal notice of liability and remedies

🧾 It is legally compliant: the responsibility for authenticity rests with the seller (in accordance with articles L. 221-18 of the French Consumer Code and 1240-1241 of the French Civil Code), but the certificate frames the transaction and allows the buyer to turn back in case of fraud or non-compliance.

⚠️ Artcertificate is not an expert in autographs, but a trusted third party that provides you with a clear and professional certification tool.

🎁 In summary:
To value a signed object, reassure your buyer, and guarantee the traceability of the part, a certificate of authenticity is essential. It is the best weapon against counterfeiting and legal uncertainty.

With Artcertificate, you can create an elegant, secure and professional certificate that accompanies and protects your signed objects.
