Authenticity
At Drop N Shop we recognize that Authenticity is of paramount importance when purchasing any kind of signed memorabilia. That's why all of our signed products come supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Director of the company.
This is a guarantee that all of our merchandise is 100% authentic and verified before the customer ever sees it. We authenticate our items through controlled supply where many items have photos of the individual/team signing that particular item, or times and places of where the item was signed.
At Drop N Shop we only use a small number of trusted suppliers who have direct access to the individuals concerned, and who are present at the majority of arranged signings. It is not always possible to obtain items like this due to the fact that some people will not do arranged signings, in this case we have a team of individuals who travel to all events obtaining signatures in person.
Each individual signed item is provided with a serial number allocated to that particular product line, this is designed for security and Insurance purposes and further guarantees authenticity and is displayed on the Mount.

As with any kind of memorabilia, Rare and Collectible sports memorabilia is a market where products appreciate in value. More and more this is becoming an area for investors as the increases in value of items within the market looks set to continue. The rarer items of memorabilia are now being taken by the top Auction Houses such as Sotheby’s, Christies & Bonhams where they are fetching ever increasing prices.
At Drop N Shop we have seen this market growth and have professional account advisors who will be more than happy to advise on the best investment opportunities, or we can even tailor a personal portfolio of items for you. The main areas of growth are with the limited edition items and items from the most prolific sports, music & film celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus & Michael Schumacher.
Further to this, there is always speculation from investors over stars who may be about to pass away. A good example of this was when George Best passed away, his signed items quadrupled in value for the top end items. The same can be said for Muhammad Ali who will stop signing this year due to his age and condition. With an already limited supply of his items, they are now in huge demand and this will only increase along with the values of his items.
