Established in May 2022, TCCA is a dedicated autograph authentication service that has evolved from a specialist focus on football/soccer memorabilia to now covering all areas of memorabilia, including sport, entertainment, and popular culture.

With over 40 years of combined experience across our team, we bring decades of industry knowledge to every item we assess. Our expertise is supported by a continuously growing database of more than 50,000 verified autograph examples, spanning multiple eras, individuals, and signing environments. TCCA is committed to delivering impartial, unbiased, and professional opinions on every autograph submitted.

TCCA was founded by passionate memorabilia collectors with a clear mission: to protect collectors and help maintain integrity within the memorabilia market. Our goal is, and always will be, to prevent fans and collectors from unknowingly purchasing fraudulent items.

In a market where counterfeit autographs remain widespread, independent third-party authentication has become essential. Buyers recognise the importance of verified authenticity, while sellers understand that authentication enhances both trust and value.

TCCA combines expert knowledge with advanced authentication techniques and technology. Our process includes detailed forensic analysis, supported by permanent, uniquely coded alphanumerical authentication stickers applied to every item. Each authenticated piece is individually photographed and securely stored on our own hosted online database, allowing collectors to easily verify their item for complete peace of mind and long-term traceability.

Together, these measures provide protection and reassurance for both buyers and sellers, reinforcing trust in every TCCA-authenticated item.
