IAS, International Authentication Service, one of the world’s largest authentication and certification service for all things entertainment memorabila, has teamed up with DNA Technologies, Inc. to strike a blow against the piracy and counterfeiting of autographs and other collectibles. PSA/DNA tags each item using state-of-the-art technology to protect your collectibles. Besides the tamper-evident label, serial number, and certificate, IAS’s multi-level security system uses a DNA matrix. IAS eliminates the problem of counterfeits and forgeries by labeling items in such a way that they can be sold time after time without fear of fraud. Each new buyer can be confident that he or she is spending money on an authentic item.

In the past few years, counterfeiting, forgery, and piracy of high-value collectible products has reached epidemic proportions world-wide. As a result, collectors of autographed sports memorabilia have become increasingly uneasy about their purchases.

How do you know if you’re spending your money on an authentic memento of your favorite star or merely a worthless counterfeit?

The fact of the matter is that anti-counterfeiting technology has failed to keep pace with the technological skills and inventiveness of these enterprising corporate thieves. In fact, there’s been no visible or invisible marker that couldn’t be copied or removed. Until now.
