VIP Authentic methods: Provenance. Look at the first six letters; they spell “proven.” Provenance means just that – proving where the autograph came from. And as strange as it may seem, this is very often the most important factor in authenticating an autograph. Knowing that a letter came from a reliable collection or dealer, and that it has an identifiable history, can be crucial to establishing a level of comfort. When we are offered autographs and find they still have their old original invoices from Richards, Batchelder or Benjamin, we break out in smiles. Not only have the pieces been vetted by them but were of sufficient interest to attract these giants of yesteryear to acquire them in the first place. If a piece comes from a famous collection of the past, such as the Philip Sang, Malcomb Forbes or Jerome Kern collections, all the better. As an illustration of how this can matter, some time back I bought a very rare document in the hand of the Puritan apostle to the Indians, John Eliot. It was dated 1647 and was docketed as approved and signed on the front by John Winthrop. The paper and ink were right and the writing checked out, but the incredibly early date and unique combination of signatures caused someone to question the document. When research showed that it definitely came from the Sang collection, which was put together over half a century previous and carefully authenticated by the greatest experts of the time, everyone took that as sufficient evidence that it was authentic and the debate ended then and there.

Why choose VIP Authentic? For some collectors, getting proof from independent companies is the absolute most important thing when it comes time to buying or selling, especially as how easy it is to fake certain signatures these days. With printers able to recreate a perfect scan in any kind of ink style as well as artificial ageing processes for the paper or whatever medium its signed to, autograph authentication could be a must if you don´t trust your seller. So where is the best place to get your autographs authenticated?
