At The Authentication Company (TAC), we want to make sure you know the value of your hard-earned collection, authenticated by an experienced expert.
Authenticating your advertising signs is a great way to ensure that you pay approprate costs for items to build your collection. Our TAC sticker is visual proof that your sign has been carefully reviewed and studied by an expert antique sign authenticator at The Authentication Company.
The TAC Seal of Authentication
Our TAC stickers are widely recognized in the antique signs industry. With the TAC sticker, you and potential buyers will know that your sign is authentic and not a reproduction. Therefore, it is more valuable.
You don't need to be a member of TAC to get a TAC sticker. However, discounts apply for members. We offer a variety of membership levels for every collector.
Remove the doubt about authenticity: Get it TAC'd!

1. Choose which items from your collection you would like to authenticate.
2. Download and complete our submission form.
3. Package your items for shipment.
4. When we receive your package, we will make sure each item received matches your submitted form information and send an email letting you know.
5. Authentication turnaround time is 14 business days.
6. After reviewing your items, TAC will send an invoice to your email address. Payment is due upon receipt of the invoice. We accept Payal, checks and money orders. Remember that TAC gold and platinum members receive a discount on authentication services.
7. TAC will affix an official TAC sticker with a number to the authenticated item(s).
