KSA Certification's autograph authentication process is a very detailed look at various characteristics of a signed item to determine it's legitimacy. Every detail of an autograph is closely examined for inconsistencies such as stroke weight, slant & flow. Special comparative tools are used to reference submitted items against an extensive database of known authentic examples. You can feel confident that your autographed item has been expertly certified by KSA! 

Once your autographed item has been examined, it will be given 1 of the following 3 designations. Authentic, which will be accompanied by our Letter of Authenticity, Rejected which will be accompanied by our Letter of Opinion, or Inconclusive (rare) which will be accompanied by a CREDIT for the authentication fees paid.

All autographed items given an authentic designation by KSA will be assigned a certification number that is recorded on our tamper evident decal that is affixed to either the item, or the Letter of Authenticity.  All Letters of Authenticity are marked with our company seal to discourage counterfeiting. Finally, the certification number is recorded in the KSA Autograph Database with it's corresponding photograph and information.
