Global Passport, a service division of Global Authentication, Inc. launches a strategic partnership with San Diego based West Coast Memorabilia, Inc., eBay seller id WCM-INC (formerly sandiegowill). This partnership with one of eBay’s Top 200 PowerSellers, on the most visible collectibles website worldwide, leverages Global Authentication’s grading and autograph authentication expertise and West Coast Memorabilia’s consignment facilitation service, with an established buyer network of over 100,000 collectors and dealers. This first to market service line enables Global clients to submit items for grading or authentication on Global Passport and dramatically reduce the turnaround time with no front-end expenses.

It’s catered to the current economy, cutting the turn times on held inventories or investment money is key.” Stated Bill Dully, CEO of Global Authentication.

The collecting community understands how important authentication is, what it means to the bottom line when the item is sold and receiving a payment, especially a payment this fast.” Said Chirs Huber CFO of West Coast Memorabilia.
