Charity FAQ’s

Is there any cost upfront?

No, the sports memorabilia items selected for your event are consigned to you at a discounted price. Any profit raised through your event above the discounted consignment price of the sports merchandise will go directly to your worthy cause. When your event is completed we invoice you only for the items you sold. Payment is due 10-14 days after completion of the event. We accept all forms of payment.

Do we help you with the item selection?

Absolutely, we have on average 15-25 charity events every month. It is our business to know what is “hot” is and what is not selling! We want your event to be successful so it is important that you take our recommendation. Choosing items of personal preference does not normally work. Trust us to guide you to a successful event.

How and when do we receive the items for our event?

We will deliver your items to you or your charity event location a minimum of one week before your event date. If you need the items sooner we will gladly meet your timeframe requirements. All delivery details are discussed when we start our initial dialog with you. Communication is everything!

How do I know the autographed memorabilia from Sporting the Stars is authentic?

Sporting the Stars guarantees the authenticity and quality of every piece of autographed memorabilia. Every item has a hologram and a Certificate of Authenticity. This guarantees the item was signed in the presence of a reputable company and our Sporting the Stars representative will confirm the items are authentic.

What happens if items do not sell at an event?

Whatever items are not sold you simply return to Sporting the Stars without an obligation or cost. We make all return arrangements with you prior to the event so it is convenient to your schedule and drop off location.
