Authentication Guarantee for Autographed Charity Auction Items
For 18 years, BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising has been the most trusted provider of charity auction items, charity consignment auction items, and benefit auction items for nonprofits, schools, foundations, faith-based groups, and corporate charity events nationwide.
I’m George Wooden — United States Marine, retired Maryland State Trooper, and founder of BW Unlimited. My professional standard is integrity over money. If an autograph is not independently authenticated by the most trusted and recognized authenticators in the memorabilia industry, it will never appear in your nonprofit fundraising auction.
We proudly serve as the gold standard in charity fundraising auction items, charity travel packages, and authentic autographed charity memorabilia, offering only items that meet strict verification standards so you can protect your donors and your mission.
Learn why every item is verified with our Authentication Guarantee on our Consignment Auction Items Page.
Why Authentication Matters for Nonprofits
Counterfeit memorabilia is a serious problem in the fundraising world. Unsuspecting nonprofits often sell fake items that damage trust and credibility with donors. At BW Unlimited, we remove this risk by guaranteeing only third-party authenticated items.
What Counts as Authentic — Industry-Recognized Only
We accept only items verified by independent, third-party authenticators or official league/manufacturer programs. Every item carries:
A tamper-evident hologram
A unique certification number
A public database record
Trusted Authenticators We Work With
If an item cannot be verified through one of these recognized programs, we will not offer it — no exceptions.
All BW Unlimited charity auction items are sourced directly from official signings with athletes and celebrities, verified by industry-recognized authenticators like PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett, Upper Deck Authenticated, Fanatics, and MeiGray. Here, NFL star Travis Kelce is pictured during an official Super Bowl memorabilia signing — the kind of event that ensures our items are 100% authentic and verifiable.

What We Refuse — Protecting Your Donors From Fraud
To protect your nonprofit fundraising auction and donor confidence, BW Unlimited will never offer:
House-authenticated auction items or in-house “forensic” COAs
Lookups hosted only on the seller’s own site instead of PSA/JSA/Beckett/MLB/UDA/Fanatics
Counterfeit charity memorabilia or fake charity auction items
“Too good to be true” pricing that undercuts known authentic retail benchmarks for Michael Jordan autographed jerseys, Kobe Bryant autographed jerseys, LeBron James autographed jerseys, or Tom Brady autographed jerseys
Endless supply of deceased signers and bulk “multi-signed” items with identical signatures
Any memorabilia without a visible hologram/serial or public database match
Items with no photo proof of signing when it should be available
The 60-Second Independent Verification Rule
Every charity auction item we provide can be verified in under a minute:
Step 1 — Find
Locate the hologram and certification number on the item.
Step 2 — Verify
Verify it on the official site of a recognized, independent authenticator:
PSA/DNA – psacard.com/cert
MLB Authentication – mlb.com/authentication
Upper Deck Authenticated – upperdeckstore.com/authentication
Fanatics Authentic – fanaticsauthentic.com/Authentication
Step 3 — Match
Match every detail exactly — signer, item type, and description.
NOTE: If the lookup is on the seller’s own website, it is not independent authentication.
Every BW Unlimited charity auction item includes a tamper-evident hologram and unique certification number from PSA/DNA, JSA, Beckett, or other approved authenticators. This allows donors to verify the item in an official public database in seconds, giving complete confidence in its authenticity.

Why Our Prices Are Realistic and Honest
When sourcing authentic autographed charity auction items, you’ll notice price differences. Real non–game-worn Michael Jordan autographed jerseys authenticated by Upper Deck list for about $14,999.99, Kobe Bryant autographed jerseys often exceed $26,000, LeBron James autographed jerseys retail around $14,000, and Tom Brady autographed jerseys from Fanatics sell for $2,400–$2,800.
If another provider offers these items for a fraction of the authentic retail price without PSA, JSA, Beckett, MLB, UDA, or Fanatics verification, it’s a major red flag for fake charity auction items.
