Documenting autograph provenance and authenticity records
Provenance is the documented history of an item. It is different from independent authentication: good records help explain where an autograph came from, but they do not prove that a signature is genuine.
Record how you acquired it
Include event or seller details, date obtained, any previous-owner information you can support, and the item type.
Keep the source documents
Store certificate references and images, purchase receipts, photos from in-person signings, and any written documentation.
Separate facts from estimates
Record price paid, estimated value and formal appraisals separately. Do not confuse asking prices with verified sold prices.
Share selectively
Only publicly reveal details you are comfortable sharing. Keep receipts, purchase data and private notes in their protected record fields.
