FAQs

This question is easy to answer: yes. Of course.

Each signed item which is ordered via this website, will automatically receive an unique, signed, numbered and hologrammed Certificate of Authenticity.

With this CoA, we guarantee the authenticity of the item/signature. And in case you are ever in doubt about the authenticity of the item you purchased, then worry not, because we provide a 100% money back-policy for the original buyer without any questions asked. For our return policy, see “Return Policy” at our FAQ section.

Sadly: yes, all the time.

There are quite a lot of fakes out there, we come across them regularly. We find fakes on eBay on a daily basis, where it seems that the majority -but definately not all- of signed F1 items are fake.

Most of the time fakes are easily spotted, but it has happened that, upon receiving a signed item, we only then spotted the fake. If that happens, we have a very strict operating method on how to handle those fakes: it’s called the “Tear and Trash’-method.

Yes, we destroy any fakes we might receive, even if we paid serious $ for the item. So we are confident we only offer authentic items on our website and we offer a life time guarantee on authenticity on all items – no questions asked.

We understand you only want to buy authentic items and no fakes. That’s how we operate too.

So we’d like to share a bit more insight on how we obtain the items we sell on this website.
Obtaining these items can be divided into to ways of operating:

1) Search and buy already signed items
2) Use our network to get items signed by drivers
3) If we’re lucky: get items signed ourselves!

On the first method: we’ve been doing this for quite some time now and are always on the hunt for items that makes our heart rate go up. We do a bit more than only looking on eBay – we have a list of a lot of country-specific local online resources which our country specific. We love to talk to people who have inherited signed collections, because apart from the items, there is always a good back story to listen to.
So each week, we spend quite sometime looking for items worldwide, and pro-actively reach out to people who might have items we are looking for.

On the second method, we have been successful in creating a network of people with close ties to Formula 1.
This includes F1 journalist, team member/affiliate, track marshals, F1 TV crew member, sponsors and also some of the more well known dealers in F1 memorabilia. We’re pretty proud of this network, because not only do we receive signed items first hand, but we occasionally are also able to get specific items signed, such as race gear or scale models. And…of course we also visit multiple races a year and F1 events ourselves!

We’re always happy to extend our network, because we love to share our passion about Formula 1 with other enthousiasts.
