with items for your auction without paying for them upfront. Once your event is

returning any unsold items to us.
Q: How do I know your items are authentic?
A: Our items are absolutely 100%
authentic as all signatures are from professional paid athlete signing sessions.

Sports Auctions. Each hand signed item will come with a certificate of authenticity. Be assured, we take the issue of authenticity extremely
seriously and state our strong reputation on it.

redemption, and shipping.

Charity Sports Auctions?

comfortable working with.
Q: How many months prior to my event should we begin
talking about working together?

weeks of your event, we are still interested in working with you and can
assure you of our same professional and first class services.

the event is responsibility for all shipping charges for Off-Site Programs.

occur during shipping?

you and your guest's needs. We offer complete drop-ship services for out of town
visitors that may attend your event.
