VIP Authentic, Inc. ​

​

The Premier Autograph Authentication Service from Hollywood, CA

\​

With nearly fifty years of combined experience in the production of films, television shows, and special events, we’ve had the privilege of collaborating with the most prominent figures in entertainment.​

We began collecting celebrity autographs in person, and built our industry relationships, while working as background actors in the movies and TV shows filmed in Los Angeles during the early 2000s.

 

VIP started out as an online database for screen-used movie props,

catering exclusively to those who worked in the movie industry.

Through our connections, we verified that collectible props were sourced directly from the studios or were acquired in person by dedicated crew members, making sure the provenance and authenticity were unquestionable. ​

 

​In 2016 we began offering complimentary hologram-embedded COA cards personalized with the celebrity's name, for any props 

that we witnessed being signed.

 

When we noticed autographed movie props, scripts, and other unique collectibles—often limited edition items released by the studios—being posted anonymously on our site prior to the film's debut, a practice that is against studio regulations, we took the

site down. All hologram-embedded COA card numbers that were originally issued by coavip.com can be found in our database.

 

We launched vipauthentic in 2017 and implemented a policy of providing complimentary autograph authentication services and personalized COA cards for any signed item that passed our strict criteria. VIP membership remained exclusive, and by invitation only.

 

In 2018 we offered lifetime memberships to select influencers 

in the entertainment industry and formed the team of experts

that Verified In Person Authentication Services is today. 

Our experts are current and former union members of SAG/AFTRA or IATSA and have worked with the biggest names in entertainment.

 

We Are The Pioneers In Implementing Comprehensive Online Authentication Techniques.

 

Our approach enables all VIP team members to examine multiple images of the signature and contribute their insights. When a majority of the team concurs that the signature is "Genuine"

a VIPCOA card personalized with the celebrity’s name gets issued,

and the item's information is entered into our online database.

 

We quietly unveiled our online authentication service publicly

at CinemaCon in 2019.  Guests were given VIP invitations and asked to upload photos of their autographed item in order to receive a complimentary VIPCOA card.  And the response was overwhelming.

​Even signed memorabilia that already had been authenticated

by other services was submitted to receive the new VIP holo card.

 

Later that year we began offering live autograph authentication at awards shows, premieres, and film festivals.  In-person cards were distributed until 2020, and by 2023 VIP Authenitcation Services had examined over 100,000 items online for collectors worldwide.

 

Today, VIP Authentic, Inc. is considered by many collectors to be the "go-to" authentication service for their entertainment memorabilia.
