Authenticity

> How do you guarantee authenticity?

Authenticity is 100% guaranteed on every item. We can guarantee this because every single signature is obtained by ourselves in person, through private signings and memorabilia shows, and photographic proof will be shown for as many items as we can. We will always provide details of when and where the items have been signed.

> How are your private signings run?

Our private signings are run in a very professional and courteous manner. In the run up to each signing, we deal directly with the personalities involved or through their agent. Our signings are held in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, either in a private meeting room, the personality's home or at an agreed venue. We pride ourselves on the way each and every item is handled, and ensure that each signature is given time to dry before collating them. Each person we hold a private signing with is paid for each signature.

> Are customers / dealers / retailers allowed attend the signings?

We do not allow customers / retailers / dealers to attend our private signings. All private signings are run by us only. This is to ensure privacy for the personality involved, and so that the signings can run smoothly and effeciently. We would like to point out that the management of Sporting Legends have successfully run hundreds of private signings over the last number of years, and are held in the highest regard by both personalities and customers.

> Do you obtain photo proof from your signings?

Yes. We take numerous photos throughout each and every private signing. We pride ourselves on the quality of our signing photos, and the way in which we place all the items in front of the personality for drying purposes. Our signing photos are taken with great care, as we know how important they are.

> Can I pre-order signatures from your upcoming signings?

Yes. We offer pre-order prices for most of our signings, but we advise to join our email list, as pre-orders are limited, and members of our email list will get priority.

> Are all the photos available for pre-order licensed?

Yes. Sporting Legends has contracts with the biggest photographic agencies in the UK. Every single item which is available for pre-order, or for sale in our shop is fully licensed, and all details of where the item was licensed can be issued upon request.

> Can I send my own items to be signed?

Yes. Any customer who wishes to send their own items to be signed may do so. Prior to each signing a deadline for receiving items to be signed will be clearly stated. Sporting Legends will also have a selection of photos which will be available to pre-order. All items pre-ordered, or sent in tous to be signed will be returned by Recorded / Special Delivery, for which there will be a postal charge.

> Are COAs issued by Sporting Legends?

Yes, Sporting Legends issues a Certificate of Authenticity with each hand-signed item purchased from our online shop. More importantly though, Sporting Legends will provide as much photo proof as possible, which guarantees authenticity.

> Is there a membership fee to join your email list?

We do not charge any membership fees to join our exclusive email list. Once you are on our email list, you will receive details of upcoming signings, special offers, and much more. Please view our email list page for full details.

> Will you authenticate any signatures from another source?

No. We will not comment on any signatures or items of memorabilia which does not originate from one of our private signings. Sporting Legends can only guarantee the authenticity of signatures for sale by ourselves. We will not comment on particular items or pass judgement on a specific dealer / item.
