What’s Included (and What’s Not)

• Included: Authentication of autographs on memorabilia (balls, bats, jerseys, photos, etc.).
• Not included: Card grading or encapsulation. Beckett’s encapsulation equipment is not available at these events.

This is a private, behind-the-scenes authentication service performed at our store by Beckett. There is no public meet-and-greet component.

How It Works

1. Submit your item(s): Drop off in-store (preferred) or ship to us (see Mail-In).
2. Select service level: Beckett offers Small Cert and Full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) tiers. Final fees follow Beckett’s posted pricing.
3. Payment: In-store submissions are paid before items are sent to Beckett. For mail-ins, we’ll contact you for payment upon receipt if not already arranged.
4. Authentication day: Beckett examines items on-site at our store during their scheduled visit.
5. Pick up / return shipping: Items are typically ready for pickup two business days after the session. Mail-ins are shipped back using your provided label (or we can bill return postage).

Pricing

All fees follow Beckett’s current price guide. For convenience, here’s how our submission program typically maps to Beckett’s tiers:

Note: If an item fails authentication, Beckett still charges the normal fee. All submission fees are non-refundable once Beckett has rendered a pass/fail decision.
