Run a GOAT cert lookup to verify a GOAT Authentics (G.O.A.T. Authentics) COA or certificate number for signed memorabilia. GOAT Authentics is a collector-founded authentication service that specializes in Michael Jordan autographs and also authenticates Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky and Mickey Mantle. Enter the COA number, scan the QR or upload a photo, and CheckCOA checks the provider record when available and screens it against our Fraud Base of known fake, stolen, reused or compromised numbers, with 25+ authentication providers supported. CheckCOA is independent and not the official GOAT Authentics site.

GOAT Authentics was founded by two long-time collectors, Wesley Gretah and Eric Pace, with a combined forty years of collecting memorabilia. They built GOAT Authentics to protect the Michael Jordan signed-memorabilia community after high-quality forgeries began to spread and to slip past some third-party authentication. Their motto is For Collectors, By Collectors, and their focus is expert, hands-on signature analysis rather than a large automated database.
GOAT Authentics specializes in a small set of signatures rather than everything. If your item is signed by one of these athletes, a GOAT Authentics COA is the certificate to check. For other signers, use the matching provider shown on the certificate.
The GOAT Authentics specialty. The most revered and most forged basketball autograph, across every era of his career.
Premium football and hockey signatures authenticated with the same collector-driven approach.
Vintage baseball signatures, where expert era knowledge matters most.
Michael Jordan has the most commonly forged autograph in sports collecting, so expert authentication is essential before a purchase. Coverage in the general databases is also thin: many older Michael Jordan Upper Deck Authenticated (UDA) items are not in the online database or show only stock photos, which is part of why a specialist service like GOAT Authentics exists. Use the COA lookup as a reference, then compare the signature, item, photos and provenance.
A standard COA lookup can help confirm whether a certificate record is available. CheckCOA brings that into an all-in-one verification workflow and adds a safety layer: Fraud Alert checks against known fake COAs, copied certificate numbers, reused numbers and compromised records, so you can spot already-reported risks before buying an expensive signed item.
High-value Michael Jordan and other star memorabilia attract counterfeiters. Fake COAs, copied certificate numbers and reused numbers appear on marketplace listings, and a number can even match a real record while being misused on a different item. CheckCOA screens every GOAT Authentics COA lookup against a growing database of known fake, stolen, reused and compromised certificate numbers to help reduce that risk.
A clean result is not a guarantee of authenticity. New fakes appear every day, so always compare the autograph, item, COA, photos, seller history and provenance before buying, especially for high-value Michael Jordan items.
Use this GOAT cert lookup for signed memorabilia with a GOAT Authentics COA, especially when checking marketplace listings, private sales or high-value autographs before purchase.
Check GOAT Authentics provider records when available, compare the certificate details, and screen the number with free Fraud Alert protection.
Use these practical checks to choose the right lookup, read the result and decide when the item needs closer review.
