GUARANTY
Our Hologram
We are passionate about authenticity and the safeguarding of our product against fraud to maintain the integrity of each display we build. Our family has been acquiring, authenticating, preserving, and selling autographs and historical documents for over 200 years, making us one of the world's foremost authorities on the subject today. At the core of every product we sell lies your peace of mind in knowing that your autographed memorabilia or historical document is 100% authentic.
HOW IT WORKS
​
After ascertaining provenance, each and every historic document or vintage autograph we offer is methodically examined and reviewed by our expert in-house authenticators as well as third-party experts to ensure a consensus of authenticity by checking consistency with known authentic exemplars. State-of-the-art authentication tools such as the Video Spectral Comparator (VSC) are employed to reinforce the expert's findings using sophisticated magnification, infrared imaging, coaxial lighting and side-by-side autograph comparisons. In doing so, the VSC can detect erasures, reveal masked and obliterated signatures, differences in ink types, and several other signs common in autograph forgeries which cannot be detected by the naked eye.
All modern autographed entertainment and sports items we offer in our displays are obtained through licensed autograph signings conducted and witnessed either by Leipzig Galleries or a certified reputable third-party authenticator.
​
Our strict and unwavering dedication to authentication has made Leipzig Galleries one of the most trusted names in the collectibles world.
The Leipzig Galleries hologram is the cornerstone of our authenticity and is much more than a series of numbers. Each tamper-proof hologram provides a unique identification number that is specific to the item's Letter of Authenticity it is affixed to. This number may be validated through our secure online Authentication Database to verify the authenticity of your Leipzig Galleries brand display, presenting full details and a high resolution image of your collectible.
