 The demand for memorabilia associated with famous personalities is a burgeoning marketplace fueled by the desire of fans and collectors who are seeking the precious signature of their favorite celebrity--so much so that according to the FBI, the sports and celebrity collectible market is a $1 billion dollar a year business in the United States. Unfortunately, Industry experts estimate that upwards of 50% (and perhaps as much as 90%) of the items comprising this market are counterfeit. Not only does the counterfeit autograph damage the marketplace value of the signature, but it also harms the personality's image and credibility.
The purpose of CMG Authenticated is to provide collector’s with a marketplace for certified authentic memorabilia from the most beloved celebrity icons of the 20th century. What better way to commemorate these individuals than by putting them in touch with those who love them the most: the collectors.
