Genuine Memorabilia has applied to become a member of AFTAL.

The process is expected take 6 months and we hope to be able to confirm our membership in March 2012. In the meantime, you can see confirmation of our application on AFTAL’s homepage at http://www.aftal.org.uk/dealers.php

Here’s a little about AFTAL in their words:

The “Autograph Fair Trade Association” (AFTAL) was formed by a group of acknowledged autograph dealers with the intention of stamping out the market in fake items and ensuring that the customer is able to find dealers that they can trust.

Inclusion in AFTAL is proof of each dealer’s commitment and professional competence. The Code of Conduct commits each AFTAL approved dealer to providing authentic items, with all the required knowledge, qualification and diligence that that may demand, and is the best possible proof any collector could have when looking to buy authentic signed memorabilia.
