Why Third Party Authentication Matters
Third party authenticators exist to protect both buyers and sellers. They provide unbiased expert opinions using brand knowledge, reference databases, stitching and hardware standards, and deep familiarity with production eras. Their work adds a critical layer of safety in the luxury resale world.
Some sellers do not provide Certificates of Authenticity. This does not automatically mean the item is questionable, but buyers should take an extra step and verify before purchasing. Luxury purchases require due diligence, and this is why third party authentication is such an important part of responsible buying.
