NFC Proves Authenticity of Collectibles

Collectors Universe, located in Santa Ana, California, provides third-party grading and authentication services to collectors, as well as retail buyers and sellers of collectibles.

The company adopted a solution utilizing Near Field Communication (NFC) RFID technology and cloud-based authentication services to prove that collectible experts' certification, as well as the clear, tamper-evident holder in which each item is sealed, is the real thing.  

The technology is intended not only to prove that the company's grading service and the collectible are both authentic, but also to make this information accessible via the tap of an NFC-enabled smartphone.
