How do you authenticate a signed football?

Answer 1

You might want to invest in a football display case with at least 50% UV protection. Sun light will do it's damage, even reflected sun light.

The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive handling.

Answer 2

There are many ways to authenticate a signed football, but many people take photo copies of the signature and then somehow market them back on the signed football.

Answer 3

To make sure an autographed football stays intact, it can be housed in a sealed box or case. You can also store it so it is protected from the elements.
