How does one going about getting a certificate of authenticity made?

[MDesigner]

Let's say I acquire something valuable.. whether it be an autograph from a famous artist or musician, or something along those lines. How do I go about getting my own official certificate of authenticity for the item?

Just wondering.. I did a bit of searching via Google and didn't find much.

Thanks.

I would say that you would take the item in to a professional appraiser that deals in the type of item you want authenticated.

Send it to the team and pay $50..or something similar to that.
