World of Autographs has been a top-respected autograph company since its humble beginning in the early 2000's. Right from the beginning our idea was simple- sell high quality AUTHENTIC autographed memorabilia.

World of Autographs sells authentic autographs. Simple as that.

The best guarantee a buyer has for autographs is the credibility and experience of the dealer and the probability of the dealer being in business in the future. We have been collecting and selling in-person signed memorabilia since 1992 and we are not going away. Everything we sell is guaranteed to be authentic- forever!

We know how and where to get authentic items! Many dealers are lied to by their suppliers and are sold bad autographs. We see it all the time. There is just not enough authentic material around in the quantities needed to supply all the dealers. We have staff of the highest integrity that lives in Los Angeles, CA and NY, NY that procure signed in-person items for us everyday.

On items that we purchase and do not obtain in-person, besides our own well considered opinion, we will sometimes work with subject matter experts to insure authenticity. By combining our experience with that of the subject matter expert, we can provide impeccable accuracy in determining an items authenticity.

Over the years we have owned several stores including two Field Of Dreams memorabilia stores. We offer the best in authentic, in-person, signed memorabilia.

World of Autographs is committed to bringing you the best quality authentic autographs. You can purchase with confidence knowing that we have your best interests in mind. We do not take risks on amy items we sell. We always ask ourselves 'Would we want this item in our personal collection?'. If we cannot answer yes to that question, we will simply not deal with the item. You would be surprised at how much bad material is offered to us. It would shock you.

Our Guarantee:

Every autograph at the World of Autographs comes with a lifetime guarantee of authenticity. Many of our items have also been 3rd party certified by one of the top autograph authentication companies providing an even higher level of trust to you- our customer. Additionally, each item comes with a receipt signed by our president Michael Hoppe.

A Note About COA's:

We sell authentic signed items. Every dealer of autographs is going to state that. However, we actually mean it and stake our reputation on it.

We do issue COA's but only so that our customers have record of their purchase from us. On their own, COA's are worthless. Per UACC guidelines, we also issue a hand signed receipt with all the details of your purchase including our guarantee of authenticity. Our reputation is impeccable and our 'COA' means something. Buying form us is a no risk proposition.

Quote From the UACC FAQ:

Q. Are Certificates of Authenticity endorsed by the UACC?

A. The UACC has been very vocal about the fact that Certificates of Authenticity (COA's for short) are totally worthless. The UACC does not issue COA's, and always encourage collectors to get a signed receipt for merchandise, instead of a COA. Frankly, they aren't worth the paper that they are printed on. A COA is only as good as the dealer that has issued it. If you buy from a UACC Registered Dealer and get a receipt, you are following the correct procedure.

We hope you understand that the issuance of a COA does not make an autograph legitimate on its own. The autograph is either authentic or it isn't. No piece of paper can prove otherwise. Ultimately, what counts is the credibility of the dealer and the signature itself.

We follow the UACC guidelines and issue signed and dated receipts with every item as your “COA.”

There are a few exceptions to this rule- JSA (not anymore though- only their older stuff), GAI, GA and PSA/DNA COA's' provide proof that the item is 'most likely genuine'. They have thoroughly examined the item and compared it to their in-person database thereby weeding out most bad stuff. We know the authenticators make mistakes but we understand that you more likely to trust, a dealer that sells 3rd party authenticated items over one who does not.

We NEVER use the authenticators to determine if an item is legitimate. We simply submit many of our in-person obtained autographs to them in order to provide a higher level of confidence to our customers and to protect the value of the items in the future if they decide to sell the item.

You will also notice some autographs are not 3rd party authenticated. The cost of authentication can be high. Thusly, lower value autographs will rarely be 3rd party certified. However they are still 100% authentic and we are always happy to help you submit any non-certified items to GA at your expense if you would like them to be certified.
