Our Industry Leading Authentication Process
With increasingly sophisticated scam artists and forgers, protecting the integrity of physical memorabilia is more crucial than ever. At The Realest, we've taken a proactive stance against fraud. We only source items directly in partnership with artists, athletes, teams, and studios. We do NOT accept any items from third parties.
Our Holograms
Gold:
Guaranteed to be used by an artist or athlete, these items are witnessed and collected directly from the source at a live event where a TRuEST™ Authenticator is present. They remain within the Authenticator’s line of sight from usage to collection to sale. Only items that undergo this level of scrutiny receive our Gold authentication hologram.
Silver:
Guaranteed to be owned by an artist or athlete, these items are received directly from the individual themselves or through highly trusted partners with direct ties to the original source. Often collected from verified archives and estates, these items are marked with a Silver authentication hologram, distinguishing them from our Gold items. While we guarantee the quality and legitimacy of all our items, the Silver hologram denotes a different level of provenance.
Sports
The Realest's authentication is trusted by teams across the NFL, NBA, and MLS, and has included game-used items from icons such as Lionel Messi, Justin Jefferson, and Caitlin Clark.
Music
The Realest has authenticated items for some of the world's most popular artists, including Post Malone, Snoop Dogg, Megadeth, Method Man, J Balvin at Coachella, and Andrea Bocelli at the Oscars.
Film
The Realest's authentication has reached museum-grade standards, with the 1963 Ford Falcon Futura driven by Brad Pitt in Ocean’s 11 currently on display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
