Global Authentication launches the first to market collectible matchbook grading service for collectors. This innovative service allows collectors of matchbooks to have grading, authentication and have the items placed into a secure tamper evident holder. “Our company has led the way with innovating new and exciting ways to accommodate collector needs and interests. This is another example of what our experience as a company can do for our clients and the collecting community. We believe our core asset as a company has been the leadership to create services that benefit the marketplace.” Stated Mike Baker Director of Grading. This new service is available for a nominal service fee of $10 dollars and is placed into Global’s tamper evident holder with a black gasket securing the matchbook for preservation. The matchbook is registered into Global’s database and can be verified for the life of item as long as it remains in Global’s tamper evident holder. Learn More about The Matchbook Grading Service.
