Third Party Seller Verification

We understand collectors sometimes purchase Prime Time Signatures authenticated items from resellers. We offer a free verification service to help you make informed decisions.

What You Should Know About Third-Party Purchases

We want to help protect collectors from fraudulent items. Unfortunately, counterfeit COAs using our company name do exist in the marketplace. While we cannot guarantee the authenticity of items we haven't sold directly, we're happy to check our database to help you make an informed decision.

Please note: We can only verify if an authentication number exists in our database. We cannot guarantee authenticity from photos alone, as sophisticated forgeries may use copied numbers or altered images. The safest option is always purchasing directly from our official channels.

  • Earlier items may have physical authentication cards; current items use QR code holograms
  • Be cautious of prices significantly below market value
  • Legitimate sellers welcome and encourage verification
  • Our authentication methods have evolved over 20+ years but all valid numbers are in our database

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee an item is authentic based on photos?
No, we cannot guarantee authenticity from photos alone. Sophisticated forgeries may use copied authentication numbers or doctored images. We can only confirm if a number exists in our database. For guaranteed authenticity, we recommend purchasing directly from our official channels.
What if I already purchased something and want to verify it?
We're happy to check if the authentication number is in our database. However, we cannot provide refunds or accept returns for items not purchased directly from us. If you discover an item is not in our database, you should contact the seller and the platform where you purchased it.
Are there legitimate resellers of your authenticated items?
Yes, collectors who purchased from us sometimes resell items. The key difference is that legitimate resellers are transparent and encourage verification. They will readily provide authentication numbers and support your verification efforts. However, for guaranteed authenticity and full protection, we always recommend purchasing directly from us.
What should I do if a seller won't provide the authentication number?
We recommend being very cautious. Legitimate sellers understand the importance of verification and will provide this information to serious buyers. If a seller refuses or makes excuses, consider it a warning sign.
Do you report fraudulent sellers?
When we become aware of confirmed fraudulent listings using our company name, we do report them to the appropriate platforms. However, new fraudulent listings appear regularly, which is why buyer verification is so important.
