About this site, and the 5 star dealers on it.
Just searching for one signature can mean searching out the right websites first, and then searching each website for what you need. Then you need to be sure that the seller is offering authentic material, and belongs to some recognised association, before even considering making a purchase. As a result result of all this, and the number of suspect autograph dealers on the internet, GetHoldOfIt was born!
The GetHoldOfIt website has a built in search engine which searches only the sites listed on the dealer pages. This enables the collector or dealer to quickly search a number of dealers websites in one go, making comparisons, and thus reducing the amount of time spent searching on Google or individual websites.
Results are listed relevant to the search words used, so a search for 'Ali' will bring up a lot more although less relevant results than 'Muhammad Ali signed photo' so just as with Google, you may find that several different searches using different search words may be needed to locate the right item. Start by simply typing in the name of the celebrity you are seraching for.
In addition, some websites are more search engine friendly than others, so although one of the websites may have just the item you are looking for, it may come out much lower down the rankings, simply because of the way the site is created or the way in which your search words are listed on each page.
Most importantly for you the buyer, before accepting any dealer for the site, we do our very best to ensure that all dealers are members of a recognised association or regulatory body, and all advertisers will be required to accept their rules, regulations, ethics and judgements as well as our own.
In addition, advertisers are required to download and complete the AFTAL application form, and that completed form may be submitted to the AFTAL board for approval, we may also at our discretion accept or reject their approval when considering any dealer for submission to GetHoldOfIt.com
Every dealer must also fulfill certain criteria before we will allow them to be listed on GetHoldOfIt.com and we constantly monitor every dealer to ensure that they are maintaining those standards.
Our 5 Star Rating ensures that you are buying from a recognised and established dealer, with a good background, and because we have already given them 5 stars, you do not have to worry about who you are buying from.
