Authenticity & Certificates of Authenticity

Authenticity is everything.
At Vault 7 Collectibles, every item is obtained in person, signed directly by the artist, and documented to ensure confidence for collectors.

We do not sell reproductions, autopen signatures, or mass-signed items. Each piece offered is a genuine, one-of-one collectible acquired through live show access.

HOW OUR SIGNATURES ARE OBTAINED

All signatures sold by Vault 7 Collectibles are obtained using the following process:

  • We attend live shows in person

  • VIP access or meet-and-greet opportunities are purchased directly

  • Items are signed face-to-face by the artist

  • No mail-in services are used

  • No third-party signing events are involved

This ensures full provenance and eliminates uncertainty about how or when a signature was obtained.

CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY (COA)

Every signed item includes a seller-issued Certificate of Authenticity provided by Vault 7 Collectibles.

Each COA documents:

  • The artist or band name

  • The item signed

  • The city and venue where the signature was obtained

  • The date the signature was acquired

  • Confirmation that the item was signed in person

The COA serves as written documentation of provenance and accompanies the item at the time of sale.

WHY SELLER-ISSUED COAs ARE STANDARD

In the collectibles market, seller-issued Certificates of Authenticity are widely accepted when:

  • The seller personally witnessed the signing

  • The signing was obtained directly from the artist

  • The item’s history and origin are clearly documented

Vault 7 Collectibles issues COAs only for items signed in person under our direct supervision. We do not issue COAs for items we did not personally obtain.

FRAMING & PRESENTATION

All framed items are professionally presented to protect and display the artwork properly.

  • Display-ready framing

  • Protective materials used during shipment

  • Items arrive ready to hang

Framing details are listed on each individual product page.

GUARANTEE OF AUTHENTICITY

Vault 7 Collectibles guarantees that every signed item sold:

  • Is authentic

  • Was signed in person

  • Matches its accompanying Certificate of Authenticity

If an item is ever proven to be inauthentic, we will work directly with the buyer to make it right.
