Typically, Rapid Review results are delivered within a 24 to 72-hour timeframe.
The fee for a Rapid Review is $10 for autographs found on eBay.
Fees apply regardless of the outcome — "Likely Genuine" or "Likely Not Genuine." The only exception is if we issue an "Unable to Render Opinion" verdict, in which case you will be refunded.
Rapid Review is exclusively available for autographed items currently up for auction on platforms such as eBay, Heritage, and Memory Lane, among others. This includes "Buy It Now" listings on eBay as well.
No certificates, letters, or guarantees of authenticity are provided. You will receive a direct assessment based on the details of the listing. It does not include detailed information such as a machine learning score or the impact of relevant features on the decision. If you seek a more comprehensive analysis, please consider our Online Pre-Authentication service. It's important to understand that Rapid Review provides a preliminary analysis at a low cost, without any guarantee. Please note: Mistakes, while rare, can occur.
This indicates the auction listing's images don't meet the quality standards needed for our AI & Machine Learning Autograph authentication system to output an opinion. Common issues include images being too small, blurry, or poorly taken.
Our AI & Machine Learning Autograph authentication system is highly trained with LLM data to identify matching autographs across sports, historical, and entertainment autographs. However, on rare occasions, an autograph may be too obscure without extensive research, or valid data 'valid autographs to cross-check'. Given Rapid Review's quick turnaround, such cases are beyond our scope.
Auction lots often contain multiple signatures. Our AI & Machine Learning Autograph authentication system needs to inspect each signature individually to provide an opinion. If a lot features multiple visible signatures via scans, we'll review the entire lot for a single fee.
We strive to process requests promptly, but last-minute requests may not be completed before an auction ends. To avoid this, please submit your requests well before the auction's closing. Once submitted, the fee is non-refundable.
Should you decide to buy the item, you have the option to send it to Signatrue for a thorough examination via our Mail-In Full Authentication service. If submitted within 90 days of auction close (60 days for non-eBay auctions), you're eligible for a £5 discount off our standard authentication fee. Attach your Rapid Review invoice when submitting.
Remember, Rapid Reviews are intended for initial guidance and are not eligible for Card & Autograph Dual Service.
