Thank you for checking out our listings! Autographs For a Cure is a nonprofit
organization that raises funds and awareness for cancer research through the
sales of our signed memorabilia. A portion of the proceeds is immediately
donated to one of the cancer research or cancer organizations listed. The
remainder of the proceeds is put back into the charity to continue the cycle.
The end goal is to help find a cure for cancer!
We are recognized by the IRS and the state of Florida. You can find more information on our website.
We offer items as BUY IT NOW but offer the option to MAKE
BEST OFFER on signed items. Please feel free to make offers on items but do it
respectfully. We do not appreciate low ball offers nor will those types of
offers be countered. We also do not respond to or engage in discussions that
start “What’s the lowest you will take?”.
We try and feel that what we list our items are very reasonable. We have
no issue adding you to the blocked buyer list if you feel the need to send in
an extremely low offer on an item. You are wasting your time and ours.
Due to the Global Pandemic, you may see an increase in
arrival time. Most items are shipped via USPS First Class mail. If you wish to
upgrade to a faster service, please contact us. We generally ship items within
24 hours of being purchased and paid and we request patience with any shipping
delays that are out of our hands. We thank you for the understanding during
this unprecedented time. The USPS has announced the FIRST-CLASS mailings will
now take longer to be delivered. Please make note and we ask that you please be
patient if your items shows “IN TRANSIT” The item can appear to be stuck in one
location, but it should eventually get sorted and on its way to the final
destination. There is nothing that we can do about this and while we understand
your frustration, this unfortunate circumstance falls solely on the shoulders
of the USPS service and is not the fault of Autographs For a Cure. We ship our
items within 1 business day and once the item is placed into the system, we are
at the mercy of the United States Postal Service. If you would like to upgrade
to a faster service, please contact us before checking out. Thank you!
We will combine shipping on orders with multiple items.
We ship internationally, but only through the Ebay Global program. This is for
our protection as a seller. Thank you for understanding. Ebay controls the
international import fees and prices on shipping. Once we ship to the Ebay
facility, we are unable to control when your item arrives internationally. Ebay
also does not allow us to combine international shipments into one package.
Books likely will NOT be stickered with the Autographs
For a Cure COA, but we will include the card stock copy of the COA.
We do our best to list any flaws or imperfections with
the photos or the autographs. We will indicate if the item is original. (IE an
original work of art or lobby card). If it is not specifically mentioned, the
item is a photographic reproduction. The Autograph is real, but the piece that
is autographed is a reproduction of the original work. Please use the zoom
feature and look at the image. Items are sold as is. We do not always have
control of the image quality as items are sometimes sent to us from the person
themselves or their representatives. Items are being sold for charity purposes
and thus “SOLD AS IS”. If you have any questions, please ask ahead of
time. Sometimes the lighting may make images appear to have imperfections. Like
I mentioned, we do our best to document anything we notice, but it sometimes
slips through the cracks.
New - Autographs For a Cure is transitioning to a NEW QR
coded Certificate of Authenticity. We are moving away from the old Certified
sticker with the serial number. The New QR code sticker will be placed on the
back of the photos. This makes for a more aesthetically pleasing item. The
sticker will not be visible on the front side, only the back of the photo. A
card certificate of authenticity will also accompany the item. If you have
questions, please visit the website.
***NOTE**** – As of 1/20/21, Trading cards will no longer
be stickered with the Autographs For a Cure sticker or the new QR corded
stickers. Photographs (4x6, 8x10, and other sizes) will be stickers
automatically. Again, no COA will
accompany signed trading cards
Autographs For a Cure Certified and QR Coded = This
autograph has been obtained in person, through the mail, direct from the
subject or their representation, or from a collector donation. We have done our absolute best to compare
this signature to other certified signatures from the individual(s). We are
confident enough to put a Autographs For a Cure Certificate of Authenticity with
this item. NOTE – If there is no COA pictured in the auction, it is highly
likely one will not be included.
Photos are shipped in extra rigid photo mailers. We use a
cardboard backer and clear polyurethane bags. The outside of the mailer has a
do not bend sticker attached. We do our best to ensure your items arrives
safely, but accidents happen. If your item arrives damaged, please contact us
and we will make it right.
