Why not get every item authenticated ahead of time? Relic Sports believes that using 3rd party authenticators is an asset which we will utilize when it makes sense. However, as many know, authentication has become quite pricey at times. In order to sell our vintage items at a good value, we would like to let the future owner decide if they want to pay the authentication fee, or utilize that money for future purchases to their collection.  Regardless of what the future owner decides to do, Relic Sports will continue to honor our commitment to our clients to sell authentic relics, and offer our lifetime guarantee if anything is deemed otherwise.
